STEREO's Routes to Solar Orb
| Title |
STEREO's Routes to Solar Orbits |
| Abstract |
The two STEREO spacecraft, A (red path) and B (yellow path), are launched from the Earth into a highly eccentric orbit with an apogee that reaches the orbit of the Moon. Once in this orbit, the trajectories are adjusted so they can receive gravity-assists from the Moon. The gravity assist will send them both into heliocentric orbits, one spacecraft ahead of the Earth and the other behind the Earth. This trajectory was generated using a spacecraft ephemeris generated shortly after launch. |

3D Full Moon
| Title |
3D Full Moon |
| Explanation |
Get out your red/blue glasses [ http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/Help/ VendorList.html#Glasses ] and check out this satisfying stereo anaglyph [ http://faxmentis.org/html/ana-howto.html ] of the Full Moon. A corresponding stereo image pair, intended for cross-eyed viewing [ http://www.3dexpo.com/crosseye.htm ], is also available through this link [ http://www.pixheaven.net/ photo_us.php?nom=0505-0704_0611-0701x ]. Regardless of your preferred technique for stereo viewing [ http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/feature/anaglyph ], the 3D effect comes from combining pictures of the same scene taken at different angles -- mimicking the slightly different perspective of each eye. Perhaps surprisingly for Earthdwellers [ http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/ Image:Georges_Seurat_-_Un_dimanche_apr%C3%A8s-midi_%C3%A0_l%27%C3%8Ele_de_la_Grande_Jatte.jpg ], getting two pictures of the Full Moon from different angles only requires a little patience. In this case, photographer Laurent Laveder used pictures taken months apart, one in November 2006 and one in January 2007. He relied on the Moon's continuous libration [ http://www.phy6.org/stargaze/Smoon4.htm ] or wobble as it orbits to produce two shifted images of a Full Moon [ http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap070103.html ]. |
