On July 19, 2013, NASA’s Cassini spacecraft slipped into Saturn’s shadow and captured one of the most iconic space portraits ever taken.
In a rare moment of cosmic alignment, Cassini imaged Saturn, seven of its moons, its glowing rings — and far in the distance, a pale blue dot: Earth.
With the Sun safely eclipsed by Saturn, Cassini’s cameras had the perfect conditions to capture a detailed backlit panorama of the Saturn system. Over four hours, the spacecraft took XXX images. This final mosaic, composed of XXX wide-angle shots using red, green, and blue filters, reveals a breathtaking natural-color view.
The result is a stunning portrait that spans more than XXXXXXX miles — a view that not only showcases Saturn's grandeur but reminds us of our tiny place in the universe.
