3D Bennu
Put on your red and blue glasses to float next to asteroid 101955 Bennu. This tiny Solar System world, shaped like a spinning toy top, is about 500 meters across. The frames for this 3D anaglyph were taken by the OSIRIS-REx spacecraft in December 2018. OSIRIS-REx departed Bennu's vicinity in May 2021 with a sample from the asteroid's rocky surface.
