APOD: 2004 July 17 - Transit of Venus Stereogram

Every day a new image from NASA, and they are so varied, every time I go to look there is something totally unexpected. I appreciate this stereo pair of our old friend the transit of Venus. It appears in black and white, but somehow the 3d takes you there.

You gotta cross your eyes to see the effect above, since they arranged the images in right-left order. Actually this is usually easier, but below I have reversed them to see if it works better left-right.
