If your looking right at the Big Dipper it looks just like the Big Dipper. If your looking at the Moon it looks like the Moon. It looks like every spot in the Sky all but that faint out of focus perimeter around it and it could be sitting anywhere showing whosoever is looking the thing behind it from their point of view(line of sight). That's why it took so so long for us to see it I think it needed sophisticated military technology to so computers could identify things humans could not see were, camouflaged yet sitting there.
It's a ball showing you an image of everything behind it from every angle just like a big round TV screen (not a flat screen it's shaped like a ball). I think the peripheral haze around it(circle out of focus) is because of the image being projected for one persons view(line of sight) in transition around it,(haze area around it that's out of focus), is mixing the pixels so to speak towards the point of view of the other peoples sight angles.
Sort of like looking at the Sun or a star and there's a mirage type haze around it. look for a hazy circle in the sky in the day or night and it sticks out like a sore thumb when you see it, then you'll see it bulged out in 3D showing you whats "behind it", (what you would see if looking at that spot in the sky). Some people see the Man in the Moon and others see a Bear. When I look at the Moon I cant see the Man, all I can see is the Bear crouching or standing depending on the Moon's phase's. It's I think because my Daddy showed me the Bear one night until I saw "It" so when I look up I see a Bear in the face of the Moon but you might see a Man.
If you look for a Queen bee in a hive and the whole frame is full of bees it's like looking for a Needle in a Haystack but if you look for a circle of eyes all looking "in" they are all looking at "the Queen".
