      Explanation: This picture from July 1997 shows a ramp from the   
      Pathfinder lander, the Sojourner robot rover, deflated landing airbags,   
      a couch, Barnacle Bill and Yogi Rock appear together in this 3D stereo   
      view of the surface of Mars. Barnacle Bill is the rock just left of the   
      house cat-sized, solar-paneled Sojourner. Yogi is the big   
      friendly-looking boulder at top right. The "couch" is the angular rock   
      shape visible near center on the horizon. Look at the image with   
      red/blue glasses (or just hold a piece of clear red plastic over your   
      left eye and blue or green over your right) to get the dramatic 3D   
      perspective. The stereo view was recorded by the remarkable Imager for   
      Mars Pathfinder (IMP) camera. The IMP had two optical paths for stereo   
      imaging and ranging and was equipped with an array of color filters for   
      spectral analysis. Operating as the first astronomical observatory on   
      Mars, the IMP also recorded images of the Sun and Deimos, the smallest   
      of Mars' two tiny moons.
