Here’s how Earth looks from 1.4 billion kms away


This July 19, 2013 image from the Cassini spacecraft provided NASA shows the planet Earth, annotated by NASA with a white arrow, lower right, below Saturn’s rings.

The image is only one footprint in a mosaic of 33 footprints covering the entire Saturn ring system, including Saturn itself.

At each footprint, images were taken in different spectral filters for a total of 323 images: some were taken for scientific purposes and some to produce a natural color mosaic. This is the only wide-angle footprint that has the Earth-moon system in it.
