How to view these 3D stereoscopic image pairs:

- Sit so that you look directly between the 2 pictures of Jupiter.
- Focus on the space between the 2 pictures of Jupiter.
- Focus about 10 meters behind your computer's monitor.
- Two extra images of Jupiter will appear - eventually.
- Focus on getting these 2 new images in the middle to merge into one image.
- Merge these 2 new images by focussing behind them.
- This will result in a row of three images of Jupiter - the one in the middle will be in 3 D.

- The smallest pair of 3D stereo pairs is the easiest to do, but not spectacular.
- For most of these 3D stereo pairs you must be at least 0.75 meters from your computer's monitor.
- The further away you are, the easier it becomes to merge those extra 2 images. If you are too close, the large stereo pairs are IMPOSSIBLE to merge.
- If you still struggle to see the 3D images, find out from your friends who knows how to "free view" stereoscopic 3D pairs using the parallel-viewing method or the cross-eyed method.
- Alternatively, search Google.com using the 3D terms in that last sentence: 3D parallel-viewing method cross-eyed method
- To be able to see these pictures in 3D takes practice. Do not be dissappointed if you cannot see it within a second or two. It takes at least a minute or two if you are not experienced in viewing 3D images without 3D glasses.

- Important: For most of these 3D stereo pairs you must be at least 0.75 meters from your computer's monitor.
- Very easy method to see 3D. Make two legal paper size or A4 paper size (or larger) tubes - DIY lensless binoculars. View only the lefthand side image through left tube and at the same time the righthand side image through the right hand side tube. You should be able to see the 3D effect almost immediately.

USEFUL TIP: Put your finger on the scroll down arrow key of your keyboard. When you have the first set of images in 3D focus, press the down arrow to move down this webpage. Do not take your eyes off the computer screen - all the other images below will be in 3D focus too.

Jupiter's moons are NOT to scale and NOT at the correct distance from Jupiter in this image. However, you can see Io 'below' Jupiter and Ganymede is at the top left.

Here are 3D images of Jupiter and its moons - all rendered at the correct size and distance from Jupiter. NEW - 5 October 2002

At this website you will find 3D images of the planet Saturn.
