Stereo Saturn
Put on your red and blue glasses to see Saturn in stereo. This picture was made from two images taken weeks apart by the Voyager 2 spacecraft in 1981. Voyager 2 was traveling at 35,000 miles per hour, and its changing viewpoint created this exaggerated stereo effect. Saturn is the second largest planet in the Solar System, known for its spectacular ring system.
