The Apollo 14 is now my wallpaper. Very impressive.

My glasses are Hannah Montana giveaways I got at Walmart when the 3D movie came out. You could probably find a 3D movie like that with included glasses for sale.

BTW – (Terrestrial) anaglyphs are easy to make with an ordinary digital camera, even a phone camera. Take a ‘right’ picture, move the camera a few inches left, take a ‘left’ picture. Use software like “anamaker” (free) to combine the images. Best for scenes that don’t move, and use a tripod or table. It’s easy to find cardboard 3d glasses online. Fun!

Hi Phil and all -

“Is this the same guy who created anaglyphs from some of the Apollo pictures?” – Could possibly be

Firstly thank you Phil for considering my efforts worth writing about. All the images are there on the LROC site for anyone to explore.

Secondly – an apology – Sorry. – I am acutely aware that anaglyph images require glasses, which places severe limits on who, and how, such images can be viewed. I’m lazy by nature in this respect – I have handfuls of Red/BlueGreen glasses easily at hand.

Creating the initial versions of these images (which are wider expanses into which I cropped) had me shouting WOW!! at the laptop monitor, when I first saw just how ‘real’ the landers looked.
There they stood, protruding above the Lunar surface, objects built by humanity – in 3D!!!… and to see them in situ; the landscape falling and climbing around them. Deep craters, steep hill, rolling valleys – I’m sure you get the picture… was something I had to share with others. I am so pleased other people like them

Bear in mind also that these are REDUCED resolution formats!! I used the compressed .tiff files. If someone has the means to unpack the CDR files in order to create Hi Res versions I would so looooove to see those [you listening Emily ]

O darn. Now you´ve made me order some 3d glasses!

Damn, left my 3d shades … in the store.
I liked the stereograph pictures, no extra equipment needed for them

Superluminous, ie. beyond merely brilliant, anaglyphs there.

Keep up the good work!

Seconded by me & well said.

Personally, I consider human spaceflight – notably the Apollo landings as the most impressive, superb and greatest accomplishment of all human history.

I just saw that Obama is now talking about an “Orion-lite” and development of a new (non-Ares) heavy-lift vehicle. I’m not sure what to think of this yet. Is it a good compromise, or a “worst of both worlds” situation? I fear it’s a political reaction to the unpopular and poorly-handled cancellations, which isn’t usually the best way to make these kinds of decisions, but I’ll reserve judgment until his speech on Thursday at KSC.

More, please sir.

Is the vertical scale exaggerated? Especially on the Apollo 14 anaglyph, those craters at lower left look much deeper and more conical than I’d expect.

Remarkably terrific in any case. Amazing what we can do.

These photographs are incredible, especially the Apollo 11 one. What I find so cool are the footprints and pathways. If only there was something so inspirational going on now in space…. mind I’m not complaining about the Mars Rovers, MRO, Cassini, MSL etc…. it’s just we could really do with something to inspire the young. We need something to counteract the so-called ‘celebrities’…

I just happen to have bought myself a couple of anaglyph shades recently. Really cool effect… The lander *does* indeed stick out…
