John Cabrer wrote me to tell me about his 3D sun photo. Get your 3D glasses on and check it out!
Science Daily has an article today on how NASA has scheduled a lauch of two space craft which are to take the “FIRST EVER” 3D pictures of the sun. I beat them to it using archive images from SOHO and Anaglyph software. With a wider time separation, you can get a really pronounced 3d effect.
Here are the two pics he used taken a few hours apart. Here are the bigger images that John sent in, check out the software and do it yourself!

A similar trick was used by the victorians to get 3d images of the moon for stereoscopes:

It works great as a stereogram!
