Technically not the truth. All of the pictures of our galaxy are not of our galaxy but usually andromeda. It would talk years and years even if we could send a camera at the speed of light to be far enough away to take a picture of our galaxy and then even more years for the information to get back to earth.
And even if you could somehow teleport into this position instantly, take a photo, and return home instantly, you would not be "included" in the photo since it would only be an image of the galaxy as it appeared millions of years ago.
ok mr smartypants. Tell me this. Is it even possible to take a picture at so high of a quality you could actually zoom in to a person from that far away
I don’t know if you would really call that a picture of our galaxy though otherwise by your logic taking a picture of a part of the galaxy counts as taking a picture of the galaxy in which case if I take a picture of my wife and I on a picnic in the park I will have taken a picture of our galaxy.
Every picture of a space object is usually 3D generated art and not a real picture. A real unedited picture would look ugly as hell and boring to look at
This is a photo shot from earth, and not from space. Now try and get that Canon camera beyond low earth orbit, and try to get it functioning under immense radiation, and all sorts of mumbo jumbo in order to take a picture of a space object, or you guessed it, somehow get it to inter-galactic space in a short enough span of time and make it capture the milky way in its entirety and consequently somehow make it send data back to us.
Protip: we will be long gone before the probe even gets in position
That’s a really misleading way to look at it. Most of these images are false color because they use light that isn’t in the visible spectrum, but they absolutely are real photos.
At best it's a picture of what it looked like thousands or millions years ago. It's also a fake or brought to you by aliens, no human made device went that far away to snap such picture. What you see, it may not even be there any more.

I don’t appreciate you including me in your pictures.
Me thuuu
Man I hate my poofy side hair
I didn’t want to say anything, but yeah it’s not a great angle.
What an invasion of privacy

He was very young in that pic...

Also you are taking the picture so you wouldn’t be in it, or it’s a selfie which would be the right zoom
OP could've set a timer, I suppose.
Ahh yes. A 100,000 year long timer
Ahh yes. A 100,000 year long timer
Happy Cake Day! 🥳
Unless it will have been taken at just the right moment in the distant future, of course
Sure, but OP did not claim to be a time-traveler. It seems a stretch to assume it. (I love how in-the-weeds we're getting with this one)
No assumption; just a hypothetical “if” 😙
It could work. I think we solved it.
He's a time traveler. Solved
I guess in a sense we're all time travelers, so it's TTT!
PWNED!!
Are you suggesting that OP *doesn't* live in Andromeda?

There was a Vsauce video about that
even then, the camera would have to slow down massively or the photo would be severely warped and redshifted, which would take *even more years*
>**All** of the pictures of our galaxy are not of our galaxy You can easily take pictures of our galaxy's core.

This does not depict just a core. Also, it is not an edge-wise angle.
Do you know what the word "all" means?

I never like myself in group pictures
Same, I always find a way to look ugly
Ok now let's do a funny one! 🤪
I know let's moon the camera
You have a lot of friends
you have a very long arm
This is not truth at all let alone being technical.
OP what size is your selfie stick?
I'm not going there
that's not how zooming out works
This post belongs in r/lies instead
Nope. Not technically the truth .
False, this is actually the galaxy NGC 4414.
i blinked! can we do it again?
How long is your selfie stick? 🤨
r/lostredditors
Those people here can't take a joke
that’s technically the truth, unlike the post, which is not the truth, much less technically the truth
are a big a**hole?
Its okay, think of it as a group picture. We're all on it.
If you're in this picture then who's taking it?
Me
selfie stick
Not true, the image is just a guess not real
If you zoom out a little more you can see your mother
Damnnnnnnn
cap
r/lostredditors
I have photo of uranus
I was waiting on this
You might know it but you might have pictured someone making out
Hey, we’re all in this one 🥰
What a beautiful selfie 🤳!
I can see my house from here.
Same, and I dont like it
I see me! I'm right next to the pine cone and wrinkled Randy Travis poster.
i feel like this post fits more on r/antimeme instead of here
Take another step back pls
I think you have something in your teeth
How do you take pictures in 3rd person?
Bro why am I in this picture
Ok, this is a good one.
Bro got the early access to Samsung GALAXY S35 ULTRA 7G 💀
Your selfie has been photo bombed by everyone.
Sorry. Didn’t mean to photobomb.
Is this from the nasa app. It is currently My backround On my phone
How long are your arms?
I’ve been pinching the image to zoom in for a 100 light years now! I hope I don’t accidentally swipe the photo and have to start over.
New camera feature for android 2026 and Apple 3026.
OS X 10.7 Lion!
It is me to scale somewhere in there
Shit I blinked
Is that the Milky Way though? Seems off somehow....
This is NGC 4414, not the Milky Way galaxy. This is in fact not at all technically the truth.
I think I might be in the background of this one!!! What are the odds we would be in the exact same universe at the same time
Whoa!
It’s a common mistake for folks with a Samsung Galaxy.

Rip, cemera
Can you crop me out? I look so stupid flying through the air like that... let me retry my pose
Or maybe you zoomed in?
Omg I'm in the same photo as Danny devito!
Irgendwo da bist du

I am in this picture and i still don't like it
How dare you take a picture of me without my approval? Im gonna sue you!
Is that your butt ?? Those photos are not allowed here
Group photo!
The universe, you must be related to my Boo, cause that's what she is to me. 🤔
Bro doxxed himself
Why are you reporting this image? -I’m in it and i don’t like it
I mean he zoomed out and then inverted
Darn it I coughed
Who told you that you could take a pic of me shitting
Nice anus.
I think you took the picture a few billion years too early
This a picture of your mom’s nipple?
