The renowned space agency is asking everyone to stand up and wave on July 19 and 20 as two of the space probes, Cassini who is circling Saturn, and Messenger who presently orbits Mercury, both proceed to take pictures of Earth.
Of course only a few of the appointed admins at NASA believe you'll actually be able to see people waving, by and large its a publicity tour to drive interest in the space program, which is never a bad thing.
The pictures, once rendered should be pretty cool, its always something to see earth from distant worlds . . .
That is Earth and her moon as seen from Mercury.
