Stereo Eros
Get out your red and blue glasses to float next to asteroid 433 Eros. The NEAR spacecraft took this image, processed to create a stereo anaglyph. Eros is 260 million kilometers away, a diminutive 40 x 14 x 14 kilometer world of undulating horizons, craters, boulders, and valleys. Its unsettling scale and bizarre shape are emphasized in this picture.
