Here’s a picture Cassini took of Earth as a point of light between Saturn’s rings… as always, click on the pic for the .tif download…
Earth as a point of light between Saturn’s rings, taken by Cassini on April 12, 2017. Cassini was 870,000,000 miles away from Earth at the time.
I currently have this picture as my desktop background at work. It’s a good reminder to keep perspective.
