Yes.  Look the last video, it's a journey to the center of the galaxy through a
multilayered collection of ever zooming galaxy shots.  It ends with both the
collected frames aquired over 16 years and accelerated by a few million times
and a CG detailing what's going on.

Truth be told, I don't think the video gives the exact scale of the thing.  I
mean, I thought the central blackhole, or whatever it is those stars are
orbitting around, would be much bigger.  Yes, I know it's hyperdense, but even
still...
