Cross-eye comparison of text files etc.

And I thought I was the only one that went cross-eyed to compare text files... Yes - if you haven't heard the expression, "if you get a good idea, there are at least 10 other people in the world that have gotten the same idea", is very true. Consider this carefully if you ever think you wa...

Thanks, and no reason not to use side-by-side for color imgs

Ahhhh - very nice! Thank you. If I wasn't so busy, I'd write a quick Java applet where you just type in a red/blue stereo image URL and it then loads, separates, and dispays them as in your posting.

Hi - I guess I have three questions resulting from the APOD http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap050423.html infrared image of the Moon during an eclipse: 1) Is there any publicly available high-quality hyperspectral imagery (similar to AVIRIS) for the Moon, Mars, or other planetary bodies acquired fr...
