There are also a few close-ups of the parts of Phoenix that are in view and a link to more pictures on the Phoenix Image Gallery."

  1. separated images available? by radarsat1 · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Does anyone know if they post the left and right images separately anywhere?

    For those of us who don't have immediate access to a pair of red-blue glasses, there are other ways..

    For instance, they could provide an animated gif of both images alternating, which gives you a 3D impression as if you're moving your head to the left and right. This doesn't require glasses and can be a pretty effective way to get an image to "pop out" without actually being stereoscopic.
