The Internet is a wonderful thing. The NEAR Shoemaker images from asteroid 433 Eros are available to all at this site: Near Earth Asteroid Rendezvous image archive

I don't have red/blue glasses, and you probably don't either. So I went through those NEAR image archives until I found ONE of the stereo pair. Here it is!

After spending a year in orbit around Eros, the historic Near Shoemaker spacecraft made the first ever landing on an asteroid's surface February 12, 2001.

Unbelievable.

King, just thought I'd ping you because petunia puts up some great astronomy photos early every morning.

I don't know why NASA insists on these red-green stereo images. They have been publishing them for years, and no one has the red-green glasses.

If NASA were sincerely interested in outreach in the area of 3-D imaging, they would make sure the red-green glasses were made available everywhere all the time. They could place a pair of red-green glasses in every envelope sent to the taxpayers by the IRS. Would it cause heartburn among the bean counters that run NASA these days?

Thank you.
