Earth (dotted surface) from Saturn

In 1997 October,15 there is a Spacecraft named Cassini which is sent by NASA’s scientist has given many life lessons to the mankind and the universe.

It was roaming around and capturing many images and few of them were in the same frames such as Saturn’s rings and our planet Earth and its moon.

Many of the images taken for scientific purpose and naturality.

It is an irrefutable fact that we shocked and fascinated we look back this image. Since Earth, which is shoot out from Cassini spacecraft wide-angle camera on July 19, 2013, at approximately 753,000 miles (1.212 million kilometres) from Saturn, and approximately 898.414 million miles (1.445858 billion kilometres.

You can clearly see the rings of Saturn, and there, way back there in the background, 1,200,000,000 km, a small blue dot, which is highlighted by a marked arrow, is our planet the EARTH.

Now realistically what is making us fascinate to think in this single dot your whole life and my mine, and every person whom you’ve ever met or heard about or read about them has lived on that little blue dot, even those who will bear will live here until the booms back day.

Not only the humans, animals, giant forest but also the large oceans, mountains end up in this small dot alongside 7 continents, indeed is not fascinating?

There is one more interesting fact! there are more Billion Earths can be accommodated in the Milky Way.

A Life begins with a dot and clinching clot from the womb of the mother we grow, we turned back as a man, running back with a livelihood; and shows expression, anger, jealously and much of pride will end up in this dot.

Truly, the creation of the skies and earth is a bigger (miracle) than the creation of people, but most of us don’t understand.

I will end up this small article by quoting holy Quranic verse

“He it is who has created the seven heavens in layers, you do not see any flaw in the creation of the Compassionate. Do you see any cracks(mistake)? And then look again, and again. your eyes will become tired after it has humbled itself( and not found a flaw). And truly, we have beautified the lower skies with its ornaments(i.e. planets and stars)” 67 3–6
