Vicarious comet watching !!
💥💥💥💥
Please see parallel stereo, cross eye stereo, and the original mono.
I never did get to see this beauty in the flesh. But I came upon this lovely capture by @brummelphoto and couldn’t resist playing with it. Haven’t done one of my old patent comet conversions to 3-D for a long time – so here it is, having provided me with some therapy.
It’s a fiddle, of course – not a real stereo, but it amuses me, so I hope you enjoy ! Respects to you Mr. Brummer – I hope you don’t mind me pirating your great Astrophoto.
Notice this comet has an ‘antitail’ – seen at the bottom of the picture. This is formed from debris the comet has left behind – it’s (counterintuitively) travelling in the direction of its main bright tail – away from the Sun, whose streaming photons are knocking off dust and gas from the rocky snowball that is the core of the comet, to make that splendid tail.
