I’d have thought it would look bigger up close at a distance of only 5000 meters. Must be a tiny little thing.
You beat me to it!
How do you get away with this? When I do it, I’m accused of pretending to be naive.
Actually, I did click on this thread thinking we’d finally gotten a probe or some such within 5000 meters, but then the truth slowly dawned and I realized I wasn’t sure we’d sent one in that direction.
Well, Lamby, a Guru can say just about anything. Even if I’m sometimes really as dumb as a rock.
Honestly, my first thought was that the image was taken at a wavelength of 5000 meters. Then I did the math, and figured out that’s 60 kHz - which is very low frequency radio, way below the AM band in LORAN navigation beacon and “earthsounds” territory. Any radio astronomy at that frequency would probably look like the world appears to me without my Mr. Magoo strength glasses. 
Of course, we’re all really a lot closer than 5000 meters to the Milky Way. We’re in it!
No wonder things are so sticky.
Yeah, but in England they call it the Three Musketeers galaxy.
Or something like that.

In England, there is a theory about that the whole universe is really a gigantic Snickers bar. 
The math must get awful sticky.
