Here's my answer from a similar question I answered a couple days ago!
Explanation:
By different space telescopes!
I think you may be wondering how there is pictures of the Milky Way Galaxy, truth is that it's just an artists' representation. We truly have no idea what our galaxy looks like exactly. But we can infer due to what we can see that we are on one of the tails. Here is a picture of Andromeda, which was taken by Robert Gendler in his home observatory.
It's cool because a cheap-ish telescope can see some amazing things! With most telescopes you can hook up a DSLR camera into it, or even some hook right into a computer and can take pictures there!
