Stereoscopic Ryugu

Stereoscopic Ryugu
Stereoscopic Ryugu Rock 'n' roll legend Brian May used two slightly different images from JAXA’s Hayabusa-2 spacecraft to create this stereoscopic image of asteroid Ryugu. Original image credit: JAXA, University of Tokyo, Kochi University, Rikkyo University, Nagoya University, Chiba Institute of Technology, Meiji University, University of Aizu, AIST. / Stereoscopic credit: Claudia Manzoni, Brian May.

To get the stereoscopic effect, line up the image with a paper partition down the middle so that your right eye sees the right-side image and your left eye sees the left-side imageIf you have a pair of classic red and blue 3D glasses you can use them on another version of the image.
