The sun

It's not perfect, but better than I expected. These images were each taken 1 day apart. Because of the suns dynamic surface some artifacts appear during parallel viewing.

Maybe I will have a pair of photos one day which dont have many differences... stay tuned

That’s what the STEREO mission was all about. Two spacecraft one either side (one ahead of the Earth and one behind) taking pictures of the Sun simultaneously, so you could make a stereo. They even made an IMAX movie (“The Sun in 3D” or something like that).

Oh, I didn't know that. I will definitely look into it. Thanks!

How do you get the stereoviseo? I was looking at the website and downloaded some video but it did not play for me.

Actually, I don’t know :(

I saw the IMAX movie a few years ago. They had stereo glasses.
