Earth, the Moon, Mars, and Venus as seen from Saturn
This epic mosaic image was captured by Cassini’s wide-angle and narrow-angle cameras on July 19, 2013. The NASA probe was so far at the time—898 million miles (1.46 billion km)—that Earth and the Moon appear as a single dot.
An annotated view of the image shows the location of Mars and Venus, along with Earth and the Moon. The bright dot to the left is Saturn’s moon Enceladus, while the bright dot at bottom-left is another Saturnian moon, Tethys. In total, at least 15 celestial objects or phenomena are visible in the frame, which NASA stitched together from 323 images.
