I should have posted this for Earth Day. It’s a spectacular photo taken by Cassini from next to Saturn. The little dot outside the main rings on the right is Earth, and the top left is a zoom-in of the planet.

I have one white pixel on my monitor and it was one inch from the dot of Earth. I had to scroll up and down to see which was the bad pixel and which was the planet. That irony shows the insignificance of our minuscule corner of the universe.
