Explanation:
Get out your red/blue glasses and float next to a comet!
The Rosetta mission lander Philae's ROLIS camera snapped the
two frames used to create
this
stereo anaglyph for 3D viewing during its
November 12 descent to the nucleus of Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko.
The comet's curious double lobed nucleus is seen nearly end on
from a distance of about 3 kilometers, about 1 hour before
Philae arrived at the surface.
Philae's initial
landing site is near the center of the
front facing lobe.
Part of a landing gear foot cuts across the upper right corner,
in the close foreground of the 3D-view.
Philae bounced twice in the comet's weak gravity
after its first contact with the surface.
Using high resolution camera images from the Rosetta orbiter
along with data from the lander's instruments, controllers have
followed Philae's
impromptu
journey over the comet's surface and
have identified a likely area for its
final resting place.
