When the picture was taken, Cassini was approximately 1.8 billion kilometers (1.1 billion miles) from Jupiter. At the time of the photograph, the distance from Saturn to Jupiter is roughly the same as the distance from the Earth to Saturn. A similar picture of Earth would only light up a single pixel in Cassini’s camera.
