>           Stereo imaging will be an important tool on NEAR for
>           geologic analysis of Eros, because it provides
>           three-dimensional information on the asteroid's
>           landforms and structures. This anaglyph can be viewed
>           using red-blue glasses to show Eros in stereo. It was
>           constructed from images taken on February 14 and 15 that
>           showed the same part of Eros from two slightly different
>           viewing perspectives. The smallest feature visible is
>           100 feet (30 meters) across. For this image the
>           spacecraft position was not optimum for stereo, but it
>           will improve over the next few days allowing better 3-D
>           views.
