why is that hubble was able to photograph another galaxies in the universe, but is not able to photograph our milky way galaxies. i understand that we cannot get out of milky way because takes too many light years.
did the camera go out of our milky way to grab a photo of others milky way? eh.. if it did, it should be able to also grab the photo of milky way. uh, so how does it work?
here's the link of galaxies. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Hubble_ultra_deep_field_high_rez_edit1.jpg

The hubble is nothing more than a giant powerful telescope fitted with a camera. Just like a telescope mounted near your window at home you can look at the stars above, but you can't look down on your home from above. That's basically what you are asking.

Other galaxies are not called the Milky Way. That's the name of this one.
Being inside our galaxy doesn't stop us from seeing other galaxies clearly. There are several hundred billion stars in our galaxy, but they're obviously not all in the same direction, and they're tiny compared to the immense space between them. In most directions, we can see other galaxies, and they're especially visible in the direction of Leo, Virgo, and Coma constellations. That's partly because a cluster of galaxies is in that direction, and also because we're looking through the "thinnest" part of our galaxy in that direction, so there's less dust blocking the view.
It's only in the general direction of the centre of our galaxy that we can't see other galaxies well, because the masses of dust, gas and stars are in the way.
The Hubble, and other space telescopes, are in a low orbit around Earth. But galaxies can be seen from your backyard through a telescope or binoculars, or even naked eye for a few of them.

It's easy to see or photograph the Andromeda Galaxy because its 2 million light years away.
To photograph our galaxy you would have to take the camera 2 million light years away, take the photo, then bring it back.

Because We r Inside milky way.
