      Explanation: Put on your red/blue glasses and gaze across the western   
      Ocean of Storms on the surface of the Moon. The 3D anaglyph features   
      Apollo 12 astronaut Pete Conrad visiting the Surveyor 3 spacecraft in   
      November of 1969. Surveyor 3 had landed at the site on the inside slope   
      of a small crater about 2 1/2 years earlier in April of 1967. Visible   
      on the horizon beyond the far crater wall, Apollo 12's Lunar Module   
      Intrepid touched down less than 200 meters (650 feet) away, easy   
      moonwalking distance from the robotic Surveyor spacecraft. This stereo   
      image was carefully created from two separate pictures (AS12-48-7133,   
      AS12-48-7134) captured on the lunar surface. They depict the scene from   
      only slightly different viewpoints, approximating the separation   
      between human eyes.
