To mark the Opportunity rover’s 1,000th Martian day of operation, NASA has released a panorama of the crater that the robot is currentlyen-USCommunityServer 2.0 (Build: 60608.1)http://cosmiclog.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2006/11/15/14873.aspx#14901Thu, 16 Nov 2006 13:54:04 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:14901Wade Whitlock, Aberdeen, MDMuch to my surprise, just looking at your heading graphic I was able to get a pretty good 3D effect. Must be spectacular with the goggles! Catch the nanotech warning on the BBC website? Are we going to repeat history by turning something loose before we know what it will do to us? Yeah, I was thinking of lead, asbestos, beryllium, coal smoke, etc, etc., etc. ad nauseum. The Chinese have just discovered that lung disease is striking younger people as they crap up the atmosphere. Ain't prosperity wonderful!http://cosmiclog.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2006/11/15/14873.aspx#14976Thu, 16 Nov 2006 18:07:06 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:14976Mike Ashby, CalgaryThanks Alan for covering this. I've been a 3D geek for Mars ever since pathfinder. As for carrying around a pair, well, haven't gone that far yet but maybe I will now. I always get the kids in on it but oddly enough it's just a passing muse for them then they are gone. I shake my head and shrug and just carry on doing arm-chair planetary geology.http://cosmiclog.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2006/11/15/14873.aspx#14977Thu, 16 Nov 2006 18:08:15 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:14977Jon ZanderNASA has the 3-D bug, big time, and I like it. I keep a stash of the cardboard glasses on hand around the house because they are good for the JPL Solar System Ambassador program I am part of. Even their Certificate of Appreciation is in 3-D! And, not only do they come in handy for space and Sci-Fi related media, but as a dad you score lots of points when you can supply the glasses for that 3-D Barbie DVD.http://cosmiclog.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2006/11/15/14873.aspx#15012Thu, 16 Nov 2006 21:16:29 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:15012Louis LoizidesI've often found that the best way to view stereo images is by crossing your eyes. You simply have to place two images side by side, but place the right eye image on the left side and the left eye image on the right side. Then, when you cross your eyes, try and place the images on top of eachother. Then relax your eyes and you'll see a 3D image. The image will be in full color and you'll see it without any eye strain too. I would hope that NASA would post some side by side images from the rovers. All I'd have to do is go into an image editor and switch them around. You can find a lot of scans of 3D images from the turn of the century like this (since side by side 3D images were popular) and I've always enjoyed viewing them on the computer using the cross eye method.http://cosmiclog.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2006/11/15/14873.aspx#15037Fri, 17 Nov 2006 05:27:48 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:15037Mike Ashby, CalgaryOh, BTW, I use the same battered 3D anaglyph specs that I extracted from Astronomy magazine in 1997! http://cosmiclog.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2006/11/15/14873.aspx#187470Thu, 10 May 2007 15:34:47 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:187470M.G. Jones, Pinnacle, NCJPL (and associates) have put out 3D images in the past. The early ones required that you had to color one image (of a pair) red and the other blue, then merge the two images. While a novel idea, they didn't always work as well as one could have hoped. These newer images are much better and worth the time and slight expense to see. Most of us will never make it off of this world, so the second best option can lay right before your eyes.
