On July 19, 2013, you waved at Saturn.

The Cassini spacecraft was there to snap a photo of not only us, but the Saturn system.

Here's Cassini's view of Enceladus within Saturn's E ring on that day. (Enceladus is actually forming Saturn's E ring. More details can be found here: Tiny Icy Moon 'Feeds' Giant Saturn Ring)

These images were taken on July 19, 2013 and received on Earth July 20, 2013. The camera was pointing toward SATURN-ERING at approximately 742,417 miles (1,194,805 kilometers) away, and the images were taken using the CL1, RED, BL1 and GRN filters.
