Yeah. It was hard to explain, but the idea is to bring the picture close enough to your face that you see it in double.
You can then adjust your eyes focus and the distance from your face so as to form a central optical illusion.
Similar to when you raise one horizontal finger in front of each eye. If you bring both fingers close to each eye. You can form an optical illusion whereby the tips of each finger appear like they have merged on opposite ends of each other.
Doing the same here with the picture can let you see a 3D optical illusion of the Earth and moon, albeit unfocused.

For those who don’t know:
Unfocus your eyes such that you see a double vision (4 sets of earth moon, 2 on each side).
Then move your head closer or away from your screen until you merge the left and the right double vision into a single one in the middle.
That will give you the illusion to be looking at a 3d picture.

Reply to Is there any real upper limit of technology? by basafish
Technologies will all reach a point of diminishing rates of improvement until new breakthroughs are discovered.
There could be a seemingly infinite number of breakthroughs, but we will likely reach a point sometime in the future where these breakthroughs happen less and less as we become more and more comfortable with existing technology, to a point where researching for new breakthroughs becomes unnecessary.

It is possible but it’s certainly near impossible to prove or disprove.
Any existence outside of our visible universe remains… well… unobservable.
As a result, any laws of physics that reside outside of it are unknown, and so is the possibility of a collision, if there even are other universes out there.
Even if one were possible, it would be impossible to know what effect it could have on our own, if any, as it would require us to know what sits on dimensions outside of our universe, and the laws of physics that reign there.

Mass Effect.
It was the only game series in which I genuinely fell in love with the characters and felt high degrees if emotions during the plot lines and cut scenes.

Reply to What happens if it turns out that being human is not that difficult to duplicate in a machine? What if we're just ... well ... copyable? by RamaSchneider
Here is my theory. Your personality is merely an exact set of electric repetitions in an exact given pattern.
As time changes, so do your pathways in your brain. Electric pulses change accordingly.
The personality you have today is no longer the same as the one you had 10 years ago.
If there was a way to scan your exact neurological pathway and pulsation periodicity, I do believe your personality could be carried over and duplicated.
One would need an ability to scan billions of synapses per second to capture them, but I think it might be possible sometime in the future.
