Can you see me waving?

Oh wow. This unprepossessing image is a colour picture, harkening1 back to Carl Sagan's Pale Blue Dot, of Earth and the moon from the orbit of Saturn. It was taken by the Cassini probe at a distance of 930 million miles from Earth, as you can see in this wider view.

I forgot to say at the time...

I think it's harking, not harkening. Actually, it's "harking back", not "harkening back", derived from "hark back". Harkening means listening to, so I'm sure it's harking.

Probably.
