“The differing perspectives in these images generate a stereoscopic effect, providing a vivid illusion of three-dimensional depth. To fully appreciate this 3D image, ISRO recommends the use of red and cyan glasses for viewing. The NavCam technology responsible for capturing these images was developed by LEOS/ISRO, and the data processing was conducted by SAC/ISRO, demonstrating the agency’s expertise in handling and presenting such fascinating insights from its missions,” space agency added.
