A long way from home: NASA spacecraft grabs stunning snapshot of Earth from 70 MILLION miles away

An asteroid-circling spacecraft has captured a unique snapshot of home. NASA's Osiris-Rex spacecraft took the picture days before going into orbit around asteroid Bennu on New Year's Eve. The tiny asteroid - barely one-third of a mile (500 meters) across - appears as a big bright blob in the long-exposure photo released last week. NASA's Osiris-Rex spacecraft took the picture before going into orbit around asteroid Bennu. Seventy million miles (110 million kilometers) away, Earth appears as a white dot in the lower left, with the moon an even smaller dot but still clearly visible.
