    Literally, yes you can, on that specific website’s satellite imagery. Bloody thing’s over 10 km wide, it’s the size of a large city. I can still easily spot it on my screen if I zoom far enough out to also include Edinburgh and Riyad!

    The only way not to see it from space would be to look in the wrong place or when it is cloudy.

      What am I looking at? The white dot?

        The oval beige thing that takes up 1/5th of the width of the screenshot.

              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.
