Stereo Space Station
Grab your red-blue glasses and float next to the International Space Station, Earth's largest artificial moon. This 3D view was made from two images taken by the Space Shuttle Atlantis as it undocked from the ISS on February 18, 2008. The shiny, seven-meter module extending from the station is part of its robotic arm. Atlantis and the ISS were traveling over 7,500 meters per second at an altitude of about 350 kilometers.
