Terminal and ip 8.8.8.8#53

When I do an ns lookup for www.google.com I get this result:

mainuser@Chris-Macbook ~ % nslookup

"> www.google.com

Server: 8.8.8.8

Address: 8.8.8.8#53


Non-authoritative answer:

Name: www.google.com

Address: 142.250.190.36"


Is the "#" just another way of annotating the port?

Yes,. #53 is, as you have stated, the port - standard DNS query port.
