  1. And whom, might I ask, is the artist of this magnificent specimen? And with what software was it forged?

  2. Hi Pete,

    I added a link to the Earth Observatory article where I found the picture. This is actually a slightly recolored picture of Saturn from the Cassini probe.

    If you click on the picture and look at the larger version, you’ll see a tiny dot just inside the inner of the two faint outer rings.

    That’s Earth.
