smile for your photo
Very soon the Cassini spacecraft will take a photo of Saturn's rings and Earth will be in the shot. I know it is silly and emotional, but I'm going to go outside to smile and wave at the spacecraft during its extended photo-taking session so that in the future I'll be able to point at the blue dot in the picture and honestly say I was outside looking up at the camera. Oooh! I just got goosebumps and a shiver of excitement simply writing about it! :)
When should you go out for your photo opportunity?

Meanwhile, listen to this sweet, very short video where wonderful Morgan Freeman gives voice to the words of the amazing scientist in charge of imaging for Cassini, Carolyn Porco:
The Day the Earth Smiled
