I made this stereo gif by using motion parallax to get depth, where you use the next and previous frames to make a stereograph. The top row is for cross-eye viewing, the bottom row for parallel-eye viewing

While this illusion is cool, the moon does appear much closer to the Earth than it is in reality. The moon is vastly farther than the impression you'd get from just this GIF alone

This is FUN! They both work parallel-eye for me! 👍 I learned to free-view after one too many beers at geology Field Camp 38 years ago 😎

Thanks! I learned how as a small child from Magic Eye books, I loved illusion puzzles
