It is gigantic & very luminous but it’s also just too far away to be really noticeable - on its own is just on the limit of the best of human eyes if there would be no other star in the sky (very dim, with the visible/luminous core being only about the size of the Moon or smaller - the full galaxy is 5× larger on the sky compared to Moon, but that’s not comparable in luminosity).
Disregarding human pollution there are just too many starts from Milfky Way way closer to us.
