Stereo Moon Image

Made from two telescopic images of the moon taken on different months. Each month the moon appears to wobble in space. This is called Libration. By choosing two different months you can create a stereo image of the moon. Folks have been doing this for over 100 years. I can't take credit for taking the photos, but only for searching the net for two, other people's photos,  that work perfectly together. One interesting benefit of stereo is that, although the "right" image is of far lower resolution, it gives enough information for our brains to be able to combine the images with all the detail of the "left" image. Look closely and you can see mountains behind other mountains on the very top of the image, and you can see depth in some craters and texture of the rough parts of the moon's surface.
