First STEREO Images

The STEREO spacecraft has furnished its first 3D images. The images are taken from STEREO’s X-ray cameras; one taken from the “Ahead” spacecraft and one taken from the “Behind” spacecraft and then combined to produce the 3D effect.

To view these anaglyphic images in 3D you will need red-blue glasses, which you can get free from Rainbow Symphony.
