Very much so. The recent Webb Telescope picture was also impressive
that way (although they did not give the angle they were looking
at).

Or, to quote Douglas Adams: "Space is big. You just won't believe
how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may
think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's
just peanuts to space."
