    "Our night sky consists of a small selection of the very brightest and nearest stars in the red circle."

    Not only is that not the Milky Way galaxy, but also, it sure looks like a Hubble picture of a galaxy that is not the Milky Way.

    Even if it's not an actual Hubble photo, the fact remains that we have photographs of other galaxies, that are obviously not inside the Milky Way.

    I'd say it's this one:

    Don't know whether it's a photo of some other galaxy or cgi, but yeah, obviously not a photo of the milky way.
    Our brains have just one scale, and we resize our experiences to fit.
