On July 19, the Cassini spacecraft took a photograph of Saturn and its ring system, snapping a shot of the Earth in the process. Carolyn Porco (watch her talk) dubbed this “The Day the Earth Smiled.” This week, Cassini’s imaging team has released a panoramic mosaic, stitching together 141 wide-angle images that cover 404,880 miles. Porco writes of this image, “Below the main rings and to the right of the globe of Saturn, far in the distance and seemingly lost in the radiance of the scene, lies a small speck of blue light, floating in a sea of stars. That is our home …  The image of that dot captures the very moment, frozen in time, when the inhabitants of our planet took a break from their normal activities to go outside and acknowledge our ‘coming of age’ as planetary explorers.”
