3D Video of Asteroid Vesta 26

TheNextCorner writes "Glide over the giant asteroid Vesta with NASA's Dawn spacecraft in a new 3-D video. Dawn has been orbiting Vesta since July 15, obtaining high-resolution images of its bumpy, cratered surface and making other scientific measurements." You'll need some red/green or red/blue glasses for the 3D effect.

    Each time NASA releases images from some distant planet or asteroid, I'm floored. The number of things that have to go right, that have to not fail, millions of miles away, is immense. Kudos to the scientists and engineers who worked on imaging Vesta. Fantastic results!

Ya'll hear about the geometer who went to the beach to catch some rays and became a tangent ?
