A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.

This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
My time has come!
The above stereographic image is for cross-eyed viewing (most stereograms are wall-eyed, so you may need to put your finger in front of your screen until this one comes into focus)
This is an image of Honolulu, Hawaii, published by NASA. Note Diamond Head (the volcanic crater) in the south.
Here are some other stereopairs published by JPL:
Wheeler Ridge, California
Mount Saint Helens
Salt Lake Valley, Utah
Wellington, New Zealand
It's a schooner!
You dumb bastard, it's not a schooner it's a sailboat.
A schooner IS a sail boat, STUPID HEAD
I don't think the locations are all correct.
1st: Honolulu, Hawaii
2nd: Lake Palanskoye, Kamchatka Peninsula, Russian Federation
3rd: Wheeler Ridge, California
4th: Mount St. Helens, Washington State
5th: Mount Meru, Tanzania
6th: Salt Lake City, Utah
7th: Meseta de Somuncura, Patagonia, Argentina
8th: Wellington, New Zealand
Hmm, you are correct with the identifications, but the order I see in voyager is the one I've posted:
The only ones where I think we differ are 2 & 3. I'm pretty sure that the top one in my screenshot is wheeler ridge.
I have never ever in my life managed to make these work, I have no idea what's wrong with my eyes
you and me both. i can make the third dot appear, but the second i look away from it the effect is gone. and now my eyes hurt!
Normally it means you picked the wrong distance to the screen!
Tinker with that first - it might be much further or closer than you think, all depending on your screen and eyes.
Also, a hint: the central circle should stay straight in the middle, not closer to one or the other. At that point, below there will be three equally sized pictures, and then you can switch your sight to the central one.
Try using a bigger screen, or moving your screen further from your face. When moving your focus off the dot, move it to the closest part of the image and then move from there. It can help to align a feature in your periphery before moving to it.
Cool effect. For me, it only works on a screen where the white dots are roughly the distance of my eyes. So not on a phone.
TIL I am a walleyed viewer
Oh, also, I really miss the old JMOL molecular models that you could view in cross- or wall-eyed stereo. Anyone know what software is required to make those?
Ha, there is NO depth to this kind of thing it is just an illusion, don't be fooled about what these tricky scientists say.
