Explanation:
Get out your
red/cyan glasses
and gaze across the surface
of Churyumov-Gerasimenko, aka Comet 67P.
The stereo anaglyph was created by combining two images from the
Rosetta spacecraft's
narrow angle OSIRIS camera taken on September 22, 2014.
Stark and jagged, the 3D landscape is found along
the Seth region
of the comet's double-lobed nucleus.
It spans about 985 x 820 meters,
pocked by circular ridges, depressions, and flattened areas
strewn with boulders and debris.
The large steep-walled
circular pit in the foreground is
180 meters in diameter.
Rosetta's mission to the comet ended in September 2016 when
the spacecraft was commanded to a controlled impact with the
comet's surface.
