      Explanation: Jupiter looks sharp in these two rooftop telescope images.   
      Both were captured on November 17 from Singapore, planet Earth, about   
      two weeks after Jupiter's 2023 opposition. Climbing high in midnight   
      skies the giant planet was a mere 33.4 light-minutes from Singapore.   
      That's about 4 astronomical units away. Jupiter's planet girdling dark   
      belts and light zones are visible in remarkable detail, along with the   
      giant world's whitish oval vortices. Its signature Great Red Spot is   
      still prominent in the south. Jupiter rotates rapidly on its axis once   
      every 10 hours. So, based on video frames taken only 15 minutes apart,   
      these images form a stereo pair. Look at the center of the pair and   
      cross your eyes until the separate images come together to see the   
      Solar System's ruling gas giant in 3D.
