The team at JPL that built Cassini will be out there too. From the announcement:
"Earth will be just 1.5 pixels wide, with the illuminated part of Earth less than a pixel, so the resulting mosaic will not show any features on Earth. But it's a chance to be part of a special portrait, to contemplate what we look like from interplanetary distances, and to celebrate the longevity of our Cassini spacecraft, which has been successfully orbiting Saturn for nine years."
