This view from NASA's Cassini spacecraft shows planet Earth as a point of light between the icy rings of Saturn.
The spacecraft captured the view on April 12, 2017 at 10:41 p.m. PDT (1:41 a.m. EDT). Cassini was 870 million miles (1.4 billion kilometers) away from Earth when the image was taken. Although far too small to be visible in the image, the part of Earth facing toward Cassini at the time was the southern Atlantic Ocean.
This cropped, zoomed-in version of the image makes it easier to see Earth's moon–a smaller, fuzzier dot to the left of Earth's brighter dot.
In this image taken in November 2016 from 127 million miles away by NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, Earth and the moon are pictured together.
This photo was the world's first view of Earth taken near the moon. It was snapped by the U.S. Lunar Orbiter I on August 23, 1966, when the spacecraft was just about to pass behind the moon on its 16th orbit.
In this rare image taken by the wide-angle camera of NASA's Cassini spacecraft on July 19, 2013, Earth and its moon are pictured with Saturn's rings in the foreground (Earth is denoted with an arrow).
In this photograph taken during the second successful mission to land on the moon, Apollo 12 astronauts captured the mystical scene of an Earthrise.
The Galileo spacecraft, the first to visit an astreroid and to thoroughly document Jupiter's moons, captured this composite view of Earth and its moon on December 16, 1992, 3.9 million miles from Earth.
The full moon appears to sink into Earth's atmosphere in a November 2013 photograph from the International Space Station. The bottom of the moon seems distorted because its light is being refracted by Earth's atmospheric layers.
This photograph taken from the Cassini spacecraft, nearly one million miles away, shows the bright spot of the Earth and its Moon orbiting around their Sun.
The far side of the moon, never seen from Earth, passes between NOAA's DSCOVR satellite and Earth in a "lunar photobomb."
