A view of the Earth and Moon from 6 million miles away. That’s 6,000,000 or 6 X 10^6, or about the length of 1 million humans standing on each other’s shoulders!  -M

“This is a remarkable sight people get to see all too rarely,” said Scott Bolton, Juno principal investigator from the Southwest Research Institute in San Antonio. “This view of our planet shows how Earth looks from the outside, illustrating a special perspective of our role and place in the universe. We see a humbling yet beautiful view of ourselves.”
