Perspective is everything.

NASA recently released an image of Earth captured by its Cassini spacecraft, and our planet looks like little more than a tiny spot of light between the icy rings of Saturn.

According to NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, which manages the mission, the image captured April 12 was taken some 870 million miles from our planet.

While it's impossible to see on the image, the part of Earth captured is that of the southern Atlantic Ocean. In another cropped image, our moon is also visible, but barely.

According to NASA, the Cassini-Huygens mission is a cooperative project of NASA, the European Space Agency and the Italian Space Agency.

After a 20-year run and the completion of 20 planned orbits around Saturn, Cassini’s mission will come to a fiery end in September when it crashes onto the ringed planet’s surface.

NASA noted this is the last view of Earth from Cassini. For more information about the Cassini mission, visit NASA's website here.
