This true-color composite view of Earth and Moon from Saturn was captured by NASA's Cassini spacecraft on 19th July, 2013. Cassini's narrow-angle camera took the 9 raw images (in red, green, and blue visible light) used to create this animation from approximately 898,410,414 miles (1,445,851,410 kilometers) away.
The bright spot in the middle is Earth and the smaller bright spot under it to the left is the Moon. Some of the specks are background stars while others are the result of high-energy particles hitting the spacecraft camera's CCD sensor.
