Nathanial Burton Bradford takes images from NASA and other science sources and creates 3D red/blue anaglyphs from them. If you have a pair of those glasses, then feast your eyes on this tremendous one he made of Atlantis from yesterday's 360° pitch maneuver:

Cooool. What really makes this one is the Vertical Stabilizer (the tail fin, if you like) popping out right at you. Nathanial's also done one of the launch itself. He says he's looking for more, so I can't wait to see what he comes up with. Check back on his Flickr pages to see for yourself. Credit: NASA, Nathanial Burton Bradford
