Anaglyph image looking at boundary between the Hathor and Anuket regions on Comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko’s small lobe. Parts of the large lobe can be seen in the foreground.
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 13 September 2014, when Rosetta was about 28 km from the surface of the comet. See here for non-anaglyph version.
