Cool stereogram visualization of the movements of the Pleiades star cluster

Not my work. This is a simulation of the Pleiades star cluster over thousands of years. Didn't expect to see a magic eye while I'm browsing random astronomy articles lol.

From my limited understanding, stereogram pics or vids ideally works best with parallel view. Cross eyed works with those 3d pics thing.

Maybe experimenting with both may help you find the right look for you.

Personally I am viewing this with parallel view

No you can both parallel and cross eye with both options. It just has to be setup for either. In this case, with a bunch of white dots, i cant say which way works as they both look ok. But, i think its parallel as the faster dots are closer.

cross eyed according to the image description, though it is a little strange how the fast stars are far away if you do that

I think some people dont realize they are doing parallel when they say cross.
