This file is a stereogram. Stereograms are stereoscopic images or animations which combine left and right frames showing slightly different visual angles to allow for 3D perception.
The stereogram uses wiggle stereoscopy, which quickly oscillates between the left and right frame (and sometimes intermediate frames) to create an illusion of 3D perception without requiring stereoscopic vision or devices.
DescriptionHome plate anim.gif
English: This is a "wiggle-gram" that combines and animates two images of the same scene taken by Spirit's stereoscopic cameras, giving an approximate sense of the actual depth in the scene. Shown is a weathered, layered rock near the edge of the "Home Plate" circular structure. Of artistic curiosity is the en:Salvador Dalí nature of the rock. (It may take a while for both images in the animation to load before the animation movement appears, which uses the "animated GIF" file format. Images used are NASA/JPL images taken by the Spirit rover.)
The NASA website hosts a large number of images from the Soviet/Russian space agency, and other non-American space agencies. These are not necessarily in the public domain.
The SOHO (ESA & NASA) joint project implies that all materials created by its probe are copyrighted and require permission for commercial non-educational use. [2]
