3D 67P
Explanation:
Put on your
red/cyan glasses
and float next to the jagged and double-lobed nucleus of
Churyumov-Gerasimenko, also known as
Comet 67P.
The stereo anaglyph was created by combining two images from the
Rosetta spacecraft's
narrow angle OSIRIS camera
taken
on July 25, 2015 from a distance of
184 kilometers.
Numerous jets are emanating from the small solar system world's active
surface near its closest approach to the Sun.
The larger lobe is around 4 kilometers in diameter, joined to a
smaller, 2.5 kilometer diameter lobe by a narrow neck.
Rosetta's mission to the comet ended in September 2016 when
the spacecraft was commanded to a controlled impact with the
comet's surface.
Keep those 3D glasses on though.
You can check out a
new catalog
of nearly 1400 stereo anaglyphs created
from Rosetta image
data on this website.
