LOOK: This Is What 1,400 People Waving At Saturn Looks Like

Last month thousands of people around the world stopped what they were doing and waved at the sky.

The resulting portrait of Earth was utterly stunning and in tribute to those who took the time to wave, Nasa have released a beautiful composite image of some of them.
