This week's most amazing image is of us. Earth, I mean. Captured seemingly by accident by the Cassini spacecraft while photographing Saturn's rings. It's visible as that faint pinprick of light to the upper left of Saturn's rings.
Even more amazing is the fact that this is only the second time that the Earth has been photographed from deep space. It's astonishing that our planet is even visible from such a great distance. For more details and the story behind this image, visit the NASA site. To see more stunning images from space, take a look at our Hubble gallery.
