Saturn's moon Pan in 3-D

Saturn's moon Pan has an unusual, quirky shape something much more evident on these stereo views, or anaglyphs, they appear three-dimensional when viewed through red-blue glasses with the red lens on the left. 

This image shows the northern and southern hemispheres of Pan, at left and right, respectively. They have been rotated to maximize the stereo effect. The moon has an average diameter of 28 kilometres, and orbits within the Encke Gap in Saturn's A ring. See PIA09868 and PIA11529 for more distant context views of Pan.

These views were acquired by the Cassini narrow-angle camera on March 7, 2017, at distances of approximately 25,000 kilometres (left view) and 34,000 kilometres (right view). For a standard (non-stereo) versions of these views are presented in PIA21436.
