A li'l ol' snapshot o'home...

NASA's OSIRIS-REx used it's NavCam (I assume 'Navigation Camera') to take a photo of Earth.

Earth, and our moon, is in the lower left of the pic. I thought the big shiny thing was gonna be the Sun.

Nope.

That's OSIRIS-REx's target, the asteroid Bennu.

Earth is ~71,000,000 miles away in the photo.

Bennu is ~27 miles.
