Except there is no illusion of depth here, thus not stereoscopic by your own referenced definition. It being able to be viewed through a stereoscope doth not stereoscopic make.

It's more that there generally isn't a well fitting word for what I'm doing. "Stereoscopic" is the closest, though; "noting or pertaining to three-dimensional vision or any of various processes and devices for giving the illusion of depth from two-dimensional images or reproductions, as of a photograph or motion picture."

It accurately conveys the medium, viewing method and the intended subject, which is the symmetry. As long as I get those things across

No matter which two images I overlap, my eyes can't hold focus or see depth in this. I tried your other posts too, with no luck. I can usually see stereoscopic images in seconds, could I be doing something wrong? It feels like the images are just too different.

I don't think you should think about Jupiter. It probably sounds very scary, and we probably shouldn't think about it

I like how you proved them right by trying to explain yourself

Yeah but they wont change on the way

Oh jeez, oh man, sorry, I meant to post this to Timber Hearth not Earth

Edit: I posted a slightly more in-depth explanation of why I made this gif, here, for those curious

Are you confusing it with Psyche, a mission that's been delayed a couple of times? Lucy has already launched, one of the solar panels stopped deploying at 98%, and NASA decided that they don't need to go the rest of the way. It's not a setback.

This is, in a small facet, a part of cosmic horror. Jupiter's atmosphere is so powerful that our teensy and weak human body and senses would be utterly destroyed upon contact.

It may not be stereoscopic parallax, but I do make these to be viewable with stereoscopes so it is stereoscopic by definition, if that's what you mean

Short answer, yes.

Its not different from me making a big boom, and you standing far away. By the time you hear that noise, it was made well in the past.

Hello u/Billy_bilo_, your submission "Theoretically if we could instantly send a strong-enough telescope to a location millions of lightyears away from Earth, would we be able to see into our past?" has been removed from r/space because:

• Such questions should be asked in the "All space questions" thread stickied at the top of the sub.

Please read the rules in the sidebar and check r/space for duplicate submissions before posting. If you have any questions about this removal please message the r/space moderators. Thank you.

Sure, but there are a few problems with that.

1. to see the earth from millions of light years away would require a telescope that is beyond the realm of imagination. The andromeda galaxy is about 2.5 million LY away, so think about resolving a single star in andromeda, and then think about resolving something much smaller in the glare of a star. But you did say a telescope strong enough, so….

2. however many light years away you send the telescope, it will take that many years for the signal to return to earth. So if you sent the telescope to Andromeda 2.5 MLY from earth, you would get images back in 2.5 million years, of what would be then 5 million years ago.

3. if there is intelligent life on earth in 2.5 million years; it will certainly be different than today. To give some perspective, that was when the first Homo habilis were differentiating from Australopithecus. I think it’s doubtful that our computers will be able to talk to each other when the signal arrives.

4. similar to the problem in resolution of the telescope, keeping a radio signal coherent over that amount of space would be a heck of an engineering challenge and take a tremendous amount of energy.

Some people want to see Pangea, dinosaurs or some great flood...

No. At 20 lightyears away, you'd need a telescope 1000x the size of the Earth for a single human to appear as a pixel, and even then you'd only be seeing 20 years into the past. This gets exponentially worse the further you go.

Millions of light-years away, there's not enough photons to collect. You'd need a telescope the size of several galaxies, made of material harvested from thousands of other galaxies, just to make out the planet.

Could theoretically make do with powerful enough telescope here and a suitable lens far away that directs the light from earth back.

If you are having trouble seeing the 3D effect, just relax all three of your eyes until the images blend together.

If you teleported yourself with the telescope, then yes. Otherwise you would have to wait a long, long time for the data.
