The cross eye 3D – this is an illusion actually. Since the planet rotates and the moon orbits, applying a small time offset will give the illusion of a different perspective, and due to the orbital vs rotational speed difference, the moon will appear to be in front or back, given the directionality. Hwoever, since a satellite’s shadow moves together with the moon and not the planet, a shadow pops out of Jupiter and ruins the 3D effect. In case of a perspective shift, the shadow would stay in the same spot relative to the clouds.
