That is an impressive photograph. Congratulations to the people who developed the space cameras, the satellites and the rockets which got them out there.

Western ingenuity at work.

Obama and Holdren will make sure that doesn’t last.

Seems so lonely out there in space, just rocks floating in a cold empty void.

But a fabulous picture of them.

imaging the distant Earth passing behind Saturn in June. Think of the geometry of that scenario. Earth is almost ten times closer to the sun than Saturn. It is never more than about six degrees from the sun as seen from Saturn. All the satellite could see of Saturn would be its dark side, so the earth will vanish behind a large black disk.
