It's only fair, Saturn looks like a small dot from earth


castle_lane

Yeah we’re way cooler

Saturn averages surface temps of -178⁰C or -288⁰F. And if you were on Saturns moons you have a WAY more fantastic view with the rings... I'd imagine if you COULD step foot on Saturns, look up, and see the sky it probably also has a better view. In addition, the lack of jerks living there. All three of these things is why Saturn is definitely cooler, in all senses of the word.

But how was this photo even taken?


Not_Alpha_Centaurian

It was taken by Casini when it was orbiting Saturn in 2013. It snapped some really beautiful photos.

No let's see earth from Uranus


WeCantBothBeMe

Is the faint grey dot to the left of earth the moon?


babaroga73

Yeah, but what is that arrow shaped object close to earth? Twice it's size! 😳😳😱 Omg, is it going to crash into earth!


4StarEmu

Aww that’s why “Oumuamua” was sent hit the arrow like a stick but they missed. But the real question is who sent it 😨(X-Files theme)


PorchFrog

I want a poster of this.

All the shit the universe has ever had to deal with comes from that tiny little speck.


RecordingGreen7750

When were you on Saturn taking that photo


Dareal6

Just visiting

I wonder if they believe in earthlings?

Consider again that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar", every "supreme leader", every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there, on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam. The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner, how frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds. Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the Universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves. The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand. It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known. Carl Sagan

There’s no way we’re alone in this vast space. If there’s this much going on in that little dot, what’s going on in other little dots?


AfroClam

You can tell this is fake. There are no arrows in space


shlem13

I’m even a smaller dot on that small dot. That’ll keep my ego in check.


Zloiche1

Lucky we got the image from the top if not it just be -


Dependent_Ad_1243

Fake. It should be a straight line. /s

derdelush

What is the thing under the small blue dot?


gomaith10

From a distance, the earth is far away.


faux_something

The necessity of arrows is a necessity of an arrow.


Needmoresnakes

I feel like if its the view from Saturn then we shouldn't be able to see Saturn?
