Gravitational lensing - in 3D, made from mirror symmetry

Blue sky, ever seen the sky from above... in cross-eye 3D?

This is footage of Earth, taken on November 19th 2024, from the International Space Station

To those who are new to my work, I first started out creating 3D stereographs using gravitational lensing.

One day in ‘21, I crossed my eyes at double lensed image in space, and was shocked at the results. Ever since I’ve spent my career trying to bring attention to this phenomena.

Use your eyes to merge the images into one, and see the moon pop out! Top row is for cross-eye, bottom is for parallel eye.

Bluesky! I'm Lyra Glass - I take footage of the cosmos and make them 3D using real parallax, but I also love to experiment! 🧪👀

This is Jupiter with moons Io and Europa, in stereoscopic 3D, that one can see using magic-eye techniques! More to come soon 🌍

Hey scientists of BlueSky, I hear you’ve got packs!

Can anybody recommend some good ones? I love illusions, experiments, stereoscopy—but any cool science or science communicator is my jam

I’m Lyra Glass—An autodidactic experimental 3D & VR artist! I make space look like it’s right in front of you.

So fascinating how the middle blue part is flat while the purple edges POP

Have you ever seen the Earth or Aurora Borealis in 3D, as if it were right in front of you?

Now you can. Footage of Earth taken from the ISS. For cross-eye viewing.
