Bottom could be defined as the lowest point of an object on which it sits on. However, you cant defined the that in a 3 dimensional object without a reference point. However if you look at it in the 4th dimension, massive objects bend space and time and black holes rips it. So in this case, i would say the bottom of the galaxy would be the massive black hole in the center of the milky way.

Our galaxy is a spiral galaxy with rotation about a central point, similar to our solar system. Since it rotates in a plane (roughly) about this center, a system of Galactic Coordinates has been developed to locate stars in the galaxy relative to the galactic center.
See the site below for a description of the Galactic Coordinate System.

There is no bottom. If you see the sky from your place, the person on the other side of the Earth will also see the sky from his place.
Your question actually should be "How big is the galaxy?."

Oh, please! The word is spelled Bottom, and the next word is Where.
Never mind how far away the galaxy is. Look for the closest dictionary instead. It will do you more good.
