Earth, from Saturn's Space (1)

Caption NASA originale:"Not since NASA's Voyager 1 spacecraft saw our home as a pale blue dot from beyond the orbit of Neptune has Earth been imaged in color from the Outer Solar System. Now, Cassini casts powerful eyes on our home Planet, and captures Earth, a pale blue orb - and a faint suggestion of our Moon - among the glories of the Saturn System.
Earth is captured here in a natural color portrait made possible by the passing of Saturn directly in front of the Sun from Cassini's point of view. At the distance of Saturn's orbit, Earth is too narrowly separated from the Sun for the spacecraft to safely point its cameras and other instruments toward its birthplace without protection from the Sun's glare.
The Earth-and-Moon System is visible as a bright blue point on the right side of the image above center. Here, Cassini is looking down on the Atlantic Ocean and the Western Coast of North Africa. The phase angle of Earth, seen from Cassini is about 30°".
