3-D Tour of the Solar System

The latest issue of Sky & Telescope has an ad for the CD-ROM "3-D Tour
of the Solar System" (from Sky Publishing).  The picture in the ad
shows one of the Pathfinder anaglyphs with Sojourner heading towards a
rock.  There are "more than 150 true stereo images taken by NASA
astronauts and robotic space probes" and a pair of 3-D glasses
(reb/blue I guess) is included.  The really nifty thing is that this
CD-ROM is not limited to PC or Mac.  You use a web browser to view the
images and text on the CD-ROM.  They even mention that they support
Unix.

Unfortunately the Mars panorama included in the same issue is not 3D.
