STS-115: Stereo Portrait |
| Explanation |
On September 12, astronaut Heidemarie Stefanyshyn-Piper snapped photos of her colleague Joseph Tanner during the STS-115 mission [ http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/shuttle/behindscenes/ 115_mission_overview.html ]. At the time, the spacesuited pair were working outside the shuttle orbiter Atlantis, some 300 kilometers above planet Earth [ http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap060921.html ]. Portions of two of the pictures (S115-E-05750 [ http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/gallery/images/shuttle/ sts-115/html/s115e05750.html ] and S115-E-05753 [ http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/gallery/images/shuttle/ sts-115/html/s115e05753.html ]) have been combined in this spectacular 3D image - a stereo anaglyph intended to be viewed with red/blue glasses [ http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/Help/VendorList.html ]. Included in the scene reflected in [ http://mirrorproject.com/ ] Tanner's visor is Stefanyshyn-Piper herself and the Sun shining above the Earth's distant horizon [ http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap060719.html ]. |
