An image captured by #Perseverance while at the Bacon Strip, showing an unbelievable overhang (a roof?) of a rock at a nearby outcrop. Mars has ⅓ of Earth's gravity.

@65dBnoise I still think this one won the trophy (pun intended) at that location 🙃

Ha ha! I had this planned for (re)posting tomorrow 😀

@65dBnoise oops sorry 🤭 Well, worth reposting from your newer account 😉

Not at all, that was their purpose, to be reference points, anchors in spacetime, and give us fun.

There's lots more to use.

Since we are here, this is a 3D composite of it for cross-eyed viewing.

@65dBnoise @sharponlooker is that the right way round? to my eyes it looks like the closest rock (at the bottom of the image) is a hole inside the surrounding one.

@pelle @sharponlooker
It is, but it's far enough and zoomed in that the resulting parallax is small. Maybe if you look at the rocks on the right beyond the "sculpture" at full resolution you'll see the depth.
Show threadV Martín2d ago
@pelle @65dBnoise it's the right way yes, and you are probably experiencing a 3D case of #kratrarsombergeffekten , enjoy! 😉

I was searching for that damn word which I can never remember 😵‍💫

@65dBnoise @sharponlooker My right eye drifts outward, by a *lot*, and while it makes my life harder in almost every way... it does let me easily view that as 3d. :)

@65dBnoise A nice one! The depth along the RHS of the big boulder is really good.

@65dBnoise @sharponlooker It's inversed 👀 ?
Show threadBraid in trains  - solidarity with 2d ago
@65dBnoise @sharponlooker No, it's incorrect both ways round.

@lewd @65dBnoise @sharponlooker when i flip my device on its head it is easy to focus, buf the layers are in the wrong order ​​

This is really fun i forgot how nice those images are
Show threadAzu2d ago
@lewd @65dBnoise @sharponlooker its somehow hard to focus on it for me too. Maybe theres something off with it¿?
Show thread65dBnoise2d ago

@azucat @pelle @lewd @sharponlooker
Are you all cross-eyeing or parallel viewing? Focusing comes almost free for me when cross-eyeing.

In any case, for those who see the images reversed, here are the same… reversed, for *parallel* viewing:

Show threadAzu2d ago
@65dBnoise @lewd @sharponlooker oh those work better. Maybe i am parallell viewing. Idk how to control which 😅

@azucat @lewd
To see cross-eyed 3D, you need to cross your eyes (duh!) like when you look at something very close. Put the screen in front of you and look at a stereo image from one foot or ~ 30cm away, put a pencil at about ½ the distance, focus on the pencil, and then, without refocusing, turn your attention to the stereo image behind the pencil and try to match the two parts.

I find cross-eyed 3D a lot easier to do, especially for large images, though some find it more difficult.
