Thousands of astronomy fans looked to the heavens and posed for a unique picture on Friday afternoon - a shot of planet Earth from Saturn.
The first photos are are just being transmitted back now - but anyone who participated in the 'Day the Earth Smiled' shouldn't hope to see their face. This was, after all, a 898million-mile photo op.
The photos, some of which have been enhanced by astronomers, show Earth as a tiny dot - only a little bigger than the North Star appears in our sky - illuminating the skies beyond Saturn.
The images were taken by the Cassini spacecraft, which has been orbiting the ringed giant since its arrival in the Saturn system in 2004.
