A picture of the edge of the Earth's familiar Moon takes up the right part of the frame, while a partial image of Saturn is visible just behind it on the left.

@APoD To give an idea of size and distance the moon is currently 384400Km away and Saturn 1297 million Km away making it 3375 times further away than the moon and therefore 3375 times smaller than it would be at the same distance as the moon.

Saturn is huge!
