Technology News: Wow! Earth Photographed From 900 Million Miles Away...

NASA had on Wednesday released a collage of photos of people around the world who greeted the Cassini spacecraft and said that If you stepped outside and snapped a photo of yourself waving to space on July 19, you might be famous. 
"While Earth is too small in the images Cassini obtained to distinguish any individual human beings, the mission has put together this collage so that we can celebrate all your waving hands, uplifted paws, smiling faces and artwork," Linda Spilker, Cassini project scientist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, said in a statement.
Over 1,400 photos were shared through social media sites, like Facebook, Twitter, and Flickr. The collage features pictures from 40 countries.
