“This amazing photo was actually taken from Mars. Yup, the planet Mars and that little star-like white dot over there is our beloved Earth! NASA,” wrote the handle that posted the photo on Twitter.

Since the post was shared, it has racked up over 4,000 likes and over hundreds of shares.
One user shared a photo of Earth taken years ago, writing, “This was taken by Voyager in 1990 from 4 billion miles away. It makes our planet and everything on it so insignificant. In a strange way, it brings comfort.”
Another said, “we are just a tiny speck of dust in this entire universe.”
According to an blog from the US space agency NASA, the Earth shines brighter than any star in the night sky of Mars.
Curiosity, which arrived on Mars on August 6, 2013, is the largest and most advanced rover ever deployed on the Red Planet. It studies the geology of its environment and has found evidence of an earlier environment suitable for microbial life.
