There’s No Place Like Home

In this very rare glimpse back to Earth, the home from which the Cassini-Huygens spacecraft blasted off nearly 10 years ago, the ship looks back for a glance at home as it passes by the rings of Saturn. Cassini–Huygens is a joint NASA/ESA/ASI unmanned space mission intended to study Saturn and its moons.

Earth appears as a faint blue/white dot caught up in one of the outer rings of the gas giant.
