My time has come!

The above stereographic image is for cross-eyed viewing (most stereograms are wall-eyed, so you may need to put your finger in front of your screen until this one comes into focus)

This is an image of Honolulu, Hawaii, published by NASA. Note Diamond Head (the volcanic crater) in the south.

Here are some other stereopairs published by JPL:


Wheeler Ridge, California


Mount Saint Helens


Salt Lake Valley, Utah


Wellington, New Zealand

This is a great way to teach people how to do the Magic Eye puzzles. It's the same method but was notably easier to do this than a Magic Eye.

This is actually the opposite method you're supposed to use. If you cross your eyes to see a Magic Eye photo, the image will be inverted/inside out.

To view a Magic Eye, you're supposed to look through the image. Personally I was never able to pull it off. These cross-eyed images are a lot easier.

I was wondering why it seemed inverted to me. I saw crevasses instead of mountains, but it didn't make sense

Because of your comment I was finally able to do the magic eye!!!!! I can flip back and forth between them and invert the mountains. Thank you!!!
