It is 10km wide? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bagger_293 Also, I don't see any beige oval that takes up 20% of the screen.

That wiki link shows the measurement of the bagger 293.

225m length is 2.25% of that 10km. The 46m wide is 0.46% of 10km. You will not spot that with naked human eye in space, it would be a speck.

Plus you circled the mine, not the excavator.
