Eros, in stereo
Stereo imaging will be an important tool on NEAR for
geologic analysis of Eros, because it provides
three-dimensional information on the asteroid's
landforms and structures. This anaglyph can be viewed
using red-blue glasses to show Eros in stereo. It was
constructed from images taken on February 14 and 15 that
showed the same part of Eros from two slightly different
viewing perspectives. The smallest feature visible is
100 feet (30 meters) across. For this image the
spacecraft position was not optimum for stereo, but it
will improve over the next few days allowing better 3-D
views.
