Phoebe Craters in Stereo
Explanation:
Get out your red/blue glasses and gaze across the spectacular,
cratered terrain of Saturn's
icy moon Phoebe in stereo.
The dramatic 3-D perspective spans roughly 50 kilometers and
is based on two raw, uncalibrated images
(
N00004840.jpg and
N00004838.jpg)
from the Cassini
spacecraft's narrow angle camera taken during the flyby
on June 11 at a range of just over 13,500 kilometers.
Phoebe itself
is only about 200 kilometers in diameter.
Stereo
experimenter
Patrick Vantuyne noted the substantial
overlap in the
raw image data and was able to assemble the
dramatic view of the overlapping region
as a red/blue
stereo
anaglyph.
Looking for a
cool project?
Stereo glasses can be easily
constructed
using red and blue plastic for filters.
To view this image, the red filter is used for the left eye.
