Looking Back [1]

Earth and the Moon are small, glowing dots beneath Saturn's rings in this recent image from the Saturn-orbiting Cassini spacecraft. The Moon is the small, faint dot to the left of the brighter Earth. Cassini is beginning the final phase of its mission in late April, when it makes its first passage between Saturn and the inner edge of its rings. [NASA/JPL/SSI]
