3D sterescopic view of Earth's weather - the world is round!

Описание: For a while, before the GOES-17 (West) satellite was moved to its westerly position, it was closer to the GOES-EAST satellite, and I was able to download images from both GOES-17 and GOES-EAST satellites to create a stereoscpoic view of the earth. The jumps in the view occur when there were no images available that coincided in time or when there were significant periods with no images. The GOES-17 satellite was not in production yet and had glitches in its images. The left image is to be viewed by the right eye and the right image by the left eye. Thus you have to look at this cross-eyed to experience the 3D. Cross your eyes just enough so that you see three earths and focus on the center one. You can then clearly see the spherical shape of the earth. If you use a viewer which feeds the left image to the left eye and right image to the right eye, the earth will look concave. If you pay attention, you can see hurricane Willa hit Mexico. For those with less experience viewing cross-eyed 3D, here is a tip. Hold the tip of your finger up about half way between the screen and your eyes. Look at the tip of your finger. Without looking away from your finger you may notice 3 or 4 Earths in the background. Slowly move your finger closer or further as needed to make the middle two earth images (of the 4) to coincide so that you see 3 earth images, all while still focusing on the tip of your finger. Once you have exactly 3 Earths in the background pay attention to the middle one while lowering your finger out of the way and ignoring everything else around. With some practice, your eyes should focus in on the middle image and you should see it in 3D. It can be frustrating at first if you are not used to doing this. Moving further from the screen might help because then the lenses in your eyes don't have to focus so differently than they are normally used to doing. I have heard that as much as 20% of the population is 3D blind, so if that is the case, you are unfortunately out of luck.
