NASA captured this amazing image of our blue planet from Saturn with its Cassini spacecraft.
In this rare image taken on July 19, 2013, the wide-angle camera on
NASA's Cassini spacecraft has captured Saturn's rings and our planet
Earth and its moon in the same frame. It 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 colour mosaic.
This is the only wide-angle footprint that has the Earth-moon system in
it.
