In a larger version of that same image, you can see Earth. To the left of Saturn, between some of the rings. You have to click on the image.

Astonishing!
And to think we're such a tiny blip.
I want my ashes scattered in the rings of Saturn. - 2 months ago

When I was a little girl I use to dream about flying amongst the stars. This is a delightful article.

Wow, I clicked on the image and was surprise at how small a speck Venus is. I thought at first there was dirt on my screen and tried to wipe it off. It's amazing the images we can now get from space. Thanks for posting.

Venus is very tiny compared to Saturn.
Not only tiny, but really, really far away. That's what makes this photo so amazing.

Great post. Surprising views show just how small our solar system is. Never thought to see something like this. Hope to see the Earth next.
