Here We Are From Saturn

Hey Space Placers!

Take a look at us in a raw image from almost 900 million miles away:

While they may not look like much, you have to remember the distance and the size of the subjects in the camera - Earth and our Moon are not very large.

Pretty amazing that a spacecraft we sent to Saturn takes our picture which is sent such a far distance to be processed and shared worldwide on the Internet.

Our planetary portrait from Mercury should be out soon.
