Say cheese! On July 19, 2013, our Cassini spacecraft had a rare opportunity to show us Saturn, seven of its moons, its inner rings – and, in the background, our home planet. Swipe left and look in between the bright blue E ring and the faint but defined G ring to find Earth. We’re that teeny dot! Saturn was positioned to block the Sun’s powerful and potentially damaging rays, which let Cassini's onboard cameras take advantage of this unique viewing geometry. With both Cassini's wide-angle and narrow-angle cameras aimed at Saturn, the spacecraft captured 323 images in just over four hours. This natural color mosaic uses 141 of the wide-angle images taken. This mosaic is special as it marks the third time our home planet was imaged from the outer solar system, the second time it was imaged by Cassini from Saturn's orbit, and the first time ever that inhabitants of Earth were made aware in advance that their photo would be taken from such a great distance.
