Pale Blue Dot

Seen from about 6 billion kilometers (3.7 billion miles), Earth appears as a tiny dot within deep space: the blueish-white speck almost halfway up the rightmost band of light.

At 3.7 billion miles, I will guess this photo was taken by a Voyager space craft or the New Horizons space craft?

Where would the sun be located if this photo was significantly enlarged?
