NASA image from spacecraft shows Earth from 3m miles away

It is a unique view of our planet from a spacecraft speeding to a rendezvous with an asteroid. NASA's OSIRIS-REx spacecraft took this incredible image of home from 3 million miles (5 million kilometers) from Earth, about 13 times the distance between the Earth and Moon. Asteroid Bennu, a carbon-rich hunk of rock that might contain organic materials or molecular precursors to life. Three images (different color wavelengths) were combined and color-corrected to make the composite, and the Moon was'stretched' (brightened) to make it more easily visible. The Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, and Security–Regolith Explorer--is to map and return samples. It is also an asteroid that could someday make a close pass or even a collision with Earth, though not for several centuries.
