For some reason you need to squint just right to see it.

stay safe.

ETA - here's the cheat sheet on where to see us:

Finally, in the lower right of the mosaic, in between the bright blue E ring and the faint but defined G ring, is the pale blue dot of our planet, Earth. Look closely and you can see the moon protruding from the Earth's lower right. (For a higher resolution view of the Earth and moon taken during this campaign, see PIA14949.)

If you have to point it out, is it really a photobomb? 

Maybe this should be submitted as evidence any case of indecent exposure for that day.  "Just zoom in your Honor." :lol:

I left my glasses on my desk, so all I can see is the sailboat.

i'm assuming earth is on the far side of it's orbit?  i'm surprised it can be seen at all.  btw, that's just freakin amazing that we can get these shots!
