Today’s Context View reveal another hillside littered with rocks and debris. Over on the right, something that shouldn’t be there.
Going to the Detail View, we see three objects that taken together, are strong indicators of a previous civilization. The Locator Dots draw your attention to both a strongly-cubical rectangular block and another triangle block like the one recently published. But the main item is our “In ‘n Out” block on the right. It’s in the shape of a three dimensional trapezoid, the end facing us having both a convex and concave addition on the end. What’s that all about? Was this a way to make blocks fit together more securely end to end? Or is it yet another machine of obscure purpose? Given the immediate proximity of the other two blocks, I’d opt for the structural answer.
I’m not currently aware however, of any other blocks like this one having been discovered. So maybe it’s a “one-off” for whatever reason. The point is, it’s there, it’s manufactured and...it’s ignored by NASA.

“SO, HOW DO I VIEW X3D STEREO?”
Simple! While viewing the stereo pair at a comfortable distance, gently cross your eyes (no eye-strain) until you perceive three images all the same width. The one in the center is in 3D. Just relax into it and your eyes will automatically bring it into focus. Once you have it, you will never forget how to do it. Kinda like riding a bicycle…
