Look at that image crosseyed for an interesting faux stereoscopic effect.

Back in the late 80s or very early 90s I recall Astronomy magazine has a blurb about Jupiter (possibly a transit event) and they had 2 images of Jupiter side by side taken a few hours apart. The ever so slight rotation of the planet... though they did not mean for this effect... lent itself to a perfect stereoscopic view of the planet. Looking at the twin image “just right” truly did render depth... it looked like a marble you could reach out and touch.

FWIW, Jupiter has about a 10 hour day.
