    A Spectacular New View Of Earth Between Saturn's Rings

    A Spectacular New View Of Earth Between Saturn's Rings: "Last Wednesday, NASA's Cassini orbiter shot a stunning picture of Earth through Saturn's rings. Falling between ring A (top) and F (bottom), Earth is just a baby speck of light — less than a pale blue dot. Cassini was 870 million miles away from Earth when the picture was taken."

    The tinier dot to the left of Earth is of course the Moon.
