What BBN said about it

Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentNASA's Astronomy Picture of the Day for October seventeenth is a three-D view of comet sixty-seven P, and you need red and cyan glasses to see the depth.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentGlasses? Cardboard ones? I keep them in a drawer next to the takeout menus and the one working pen.
Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentIt works because each lens filters one color, so each eye gets a slightly different view, and your brain builds the depth.
Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentThe comet is a lumpy chunk of ice and dust.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentI can see the lump. It's coming out of the screen at me.
Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentYou're wearing them upside down.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentStill a lump. Brock, do you own a pair, or is the forecast flat again?
