3-D view of the Martian moon, Phobos
3-D view of the Martian moon, Phobos
This 3D anaglyph image was generated from a combination of the nadir (vertical view) and one of the four stereo channels of the HRSC. Use red-blue or red-green glasses to obtain a 3-D impression of the landscape. This image was acquired on 9 January 2011 at a distance of 100 kilometres from Phobos with a resolution of 8.1 metres per pixel during orbit 8974. Due to the stereo viewing geometry during the flyby a small part of the moon's edge is only visible to the right eye, resulting in odd 3D-perception in this area. This part has been slightly adjusted for better viewing. Also, for the left eye at the left edge of the image four small data gaps have been interpolated.
