This isn't actually one of mine, but I wanted it up here for the sake of the photograph itself. This is a photograph of Saturn by the Cassini spacecraft in orbit. It's a beautiful shot of the planet and its rings. Well, multiple shots actually -- it's a composite of 165 different images taken by the spacecraft over 12 hours.
In fact, Earth itself is visible just inside the outer ring, at the 10 o'clock position. That bright dot is Earth.
Kinda makes you think about just how small a speck Earth really is.
