      Explanation: Put on your red/blue glasses and float next to asteroid   
      101955 Bennu. Shaped like a spinning toy top with boulders littering   
      its rough surface, the tiny Solar System world is about one Empire   
      State Building (less than 500 meters) across. Frames used to construct   
      this 3D anaglyph were taken by PolyCam on the OSIRIS_REx spacecraft on   
      December 3, 2018 from a distance of about 80 kilometers. With a sample   
      from the asteroid's rocky surface on board, OSIRIS_REx departed Bennu's   
      vicinity in May of 2021 and is now enroute to planet Earth. The robotic   
      spacecraft is scheduled to return the sample to Earth this September.
