I'm guessing, in terms of angle (ie "above" or "our perspective"), this is pretty much what you'd see. We collect data sitting here on planet earth, so more or less, everything we see is from the same vantage point in the universe. The overall size and shape of things can be calculated by relative motion of objects in space. We also can make educated guesses about the shape of our own galaxy by observing others from the outside.
