Anaglyph image of part of Comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko’s large lobe, focusing on the smooth region named Ash and the exposed layers in Seth.
To best enjoy the 3D effect, use red–blue/green 3D glasses.
The image was created from two OSIRIS narrow-angle camera images taken less than one minute apart on 10 September 2014, when Rosetta was about 27 km from the surface of the comet. See here for non-anaglyph version.
