                             The Saddle in 3-D

          Several frames from a rotation movie NEAR Shoemaker took
          on September 19, 2000, from an orbit 100 kilometers (62
          miles) above Eros, were combined to create these 3-D
          views of the saddle region. 3-D images made using the
          red and blue color technique are called anaglyphs and
          must be viewed through red-blue 3-D glasses.

          Because of the combined rotation of Eros and spacecraft
          motion, the images were rotated to create the 3-D views.
          The images all show the same area but use two movie
          frames separated by increasing amounts to give greater
          3-D depth (from not enough to too much). The first image
          in the upper left has no depth; the image at upper right
          is made from adjacent movie frames, while the remaining
          images are separated by 2, 5, 10 and 15 movie frames.
