One more thing to reflect on this Earth Day: Earth and our moon as seen between the rings of Saturn from a distance of 870 million miles by the Cassini spacecraft. To my mind, this image underscores how precious our planet is. Protecting the one home we all share is one of the many, many good reasons to encourage sustainability and environmental preservation.
Happy Earth Day!
