It would be a literal explosion of awe inside the mind.
It would be incredible to be able to get out there and take a look.

I don't think you can really see it "close up." At a different distance or angle it wouldn't look like that. If you were close enough, you probably wouldn't even know you were looking at anything unusual.

Theres a lot of sense there, from several thousand miles away I would think you could make it out... I dunno though, but its an interesting question what the right distance is to actually see it all.

Nah, it's really not a big deal. Look at the various constellations. Just based on our own particular viewing angle people named groups of stars after mythological figures. That's like driving by a group of trees at 75 MPH, thinking one looks like your Uncle Frank, and naming the spot Frank's Field. It's no more meaningful than that.

I prefer a grilled cheese sandwich over a toasted one myself.

We don't want to offend anyone with our beliefs.

That's the safe answer.

Unless one actually uses a grill, is it really a "grilled cheese" sandwich?
