Title: E-card: Triple Scoop of Galactic Goodies

 

Greetings to Earth....from the Cassini spacecraft!

 

As the sun slipped behind Saturn last week, I caught a glimpse of something familiar behind the planet's rings -- a pale blue dot that I recognized as Earth.  You can see it between the rings near the upper right.  The enlarged view on the left shows Earth with a faint hint of the moon.

Only one other space traveler has seen Earth from the outer solar system -- Voyager 1 in 1990.

Smile for the cameras!  Wish you were here.
