Consult the EARTH IMPACT DATABASE.
Pick one terrestrial impact crater, sign up for it on the board.
Collect images of impact evidence from that crater (.pdfs, breccias, suevites, glasses, shattercones, etc.).
Then find it on Google Earth, create a stereo pair a stereo anaglyph aerial image of the crater.
Step #1: Grab screen shots of a left-eye-view and a right-eye-view of the crater from Google Earth.
Step #2: Crop each of the images to show only the immediate vicinity of the crater.
Remember to label the images with the crater name, and which is the left-eye-view and which is the right-eye-view.
Step #3: Save each of those two images, full size, on a disk.
Step #4: Create a color anaglyph stereo pair for viewing with red/cyan glasses and save that on the same disk.
Step #5: Add the collected images of impact evidence to the disk, along with information as to their sources.
To obtain the view for the LEFT eye move the point of interest to the RIGHT edge of the display.
Make sure that North is precisely pointed to the top of the display and that "tilt" is set to zero.
Hold ALT and press PRINT SCRN on a PC to copy what you see to the clipBoard.
In PhotoShop, select File/New and then Edit/Paste
to work on it.
Crop the image, select Layers/Flatten and save it as a .jpg as "left."" .
To obtain the view for the RIGHT eye move the point of interest to the LEFT edge of the display.
Make sure that North is precisely pointed to the top of the display and that "tilt" is set to zero.
Hold ALT and press PRINT SCRN on a PC to copy what you see to the clipBoard.
In PhotoShop, select File/New and then Edit/Paste to work on it.
Crop the image, select Layers/Flatten and save it as a .jpg as "right."

Left eye | Right eye
A stereo pair suitable for parallel-eye viewing, expecially with a stereoscope (left) or stereopticon (right).
You can train your eyes to see the stereo depth with difficulty:
Reduce the size so that the distance from the same point in the two images is the same as, or less than, your interpupilary distance.
Holding your head straight, hold two or three fingers close to your nose.
Alternately close each eye and move your fingers in such a way that your left eye cannot see the right image and your right eye cannot see the left image.
Without moving your fingers open both eyes and the two images may fuse, with practice, with stereo depth.
Right eye | Left eye
A stereo pair suitable for crossed-eye viewing.
You can train your eyes to see the stereo depth with relative ease:
Holding your head straight, hold one finger close to your nose.
Open only your left eye and align your finger with a spot in the center of the right-most (left eye) image.
Keep your finger centered and adjust it towards or away from the image.
Open only your right eye and align your finger with the same spot in the center of the left-most (right eye view) image.
Keep your finger centered and adjust it towards or away from the image.
Keep switching eyes so that your finger alignins symmetrically for each eye.
Without moving your fingers open both eyes and focus on your finger.
In the background behind your finger, you will see the out-of-focus images in the background slowly begin to fuse.
Once they fuse, shift your focus to them and remove your finger.
Create a RED/CYAN color anaglyph to view with red/cyan 3D glasses.
In PhotoShop, simply paste the RED channel of the left image into the RED channel of the right image.
Open both the left-eye-image and right-eye-image separately in PhotoShop.
Select Windows/Channels.
Bring the left-eye-image into focus (click on that image) and select the RED channel.
Select Select/All.
Select Edit/Copy.
Bring the right-eye-image into focus (click on that image) and select the RED channel
Select Edit/Paste.
Now align the RED channel that you pasted with the existing GREEN and BLUE channels:
Find a sharp distinctive feature at the center of the image while looking at the GREEN and BLUE channels. Tape the tip of a paper arrow to the screen pointing to that feature.
That feature should not move when you switch between selecting the GREEN or BLUE channels.
But if you select the RED channel, that feature will probably be out of place.
While viewing the RED channel, select the Move tool (at the top) and, using the arrow keys, align that feature with the tip of the arrow.
Check all three channels again. When all three channels are aligned, save the right-eye-image with a new name "anaglyph."
You no longer need the left-eye-image.
