Earth & Moon image taken from Saturn

I found the original image from NASA's website and tried to plate solve it, but no success

I read somewhere that there were a lot of cosmic ray events on the original image which would be cleaned up.

If you have a wide field image of an area of sky, it allows you to identify the stars and other objects in the sky using software, so you can take an image such as this:

And get something like this:

The amazing thing is considering roughly the size of the universe and realising that out of all objects, this one has an environment that can accommodate life!

I was very surprised too, it must be all the light pollution

It's probably that bleedin' streetlight outside my house...

Nasa's site shows that it's flying by Titian yesterday,NASA is emphasising too much on Titan, they almost worship the thing! I think it will just stay at Saturn and orbit it's moons, this was the goal of the mission anyway. Would be nice to use it somewhere else as well.

wait a minuate? why does my mind tell me that the picture on the left looks fake?! has it been edited from orginal?

I think it's two images - the one that shows Earth, and one of Saturn's rings

I know they once thought Titan could support human life and that was what all the fuss was about, maybe they are expecting more Its probably mineral rich
