Nasa has released photos of the Earth and Moon taken by a spacecraft orbiting Saturn - nearly a billion miles away.


Our planet and its only satellite appear only as dots in the picture, which was taken by the Cassini spacecraft on 19 July.

Amazing, both makes me swell with pride at human achievement, and dwindle with modesty realizing how tiny and insignificant Earth is in the Cosmos.

Wonderful pics, thanks MP!!
