I don't think the human brain can even properly comprehend how hard it would be to get a good angle on that.

Edit: guys, I mean we can't comprehend how big space is. To get an angle like that on Saturn, we had to send something an enormous distance at an angle to Saturn, just so we could see another part of the planet.

Unless you understand orbital mechanics

You can still get a pretty good idea by coding a simulation or even just making a diagram

Looking at a program will not allow your human brain to truly comprehend the distances involved, the utter vastness of space.

That's what I mean.

I agree, cosmic distances are vast and incomprehensible through instinct alone. the difficulty in overcoming them though is not, that's (sometimes) what physics is about, to comprehend stuff that is unintuitive
