3D Photographs Of Things We Have Lost

Just a few years after this photograph was taken, the quagga, a subspecies of zebra, was hunted to extinction. This is actually one of the final two photographs ever taken of the quagga; the other was taken at the exact same moment, just a few inches to the right. The images are part of a stereoscopic pair.

A few years ago, we included these images with a View-Master that we made. This disc in particular was full of 3D images of things we have lost. To get a 3D effect, look between the images and through them as though your phone were transparent and you were looking through it at a faraway mountain. With some practice, you can get the images to merge, creating the illusion of depth.

We also made a disc of some of the very first 3D photographs ever taken. This is the first 3D photo taken outside of Europe. And here's the first 3D photo from a wedding. This is the first 3D photo of a scientist, Michael Faraday, and here is the first 3D photo of the Moon. Oh, and this is Comet Morehouse as seen from Earth in 1908. Unlike many famous comets, Morehouse will probably never come back.

We’re told the graph of the function ( f(x) = x^2 ) we see it right over here in gray is shown in the grid below. Graph the function ( G(x) = (x - 2)^2 - 4 ) in the interactive graph, and this is from the shifting functions exercise on Khan Academy. We c…

Example identifying the center of dilation
We are told the triangle N prime is the image of triangle N under a dilation. So this is N prime in this red color, and then N is the original; N is in this blue color. What is the center of dilation? And they give us some choices here: choice A, B, C, or…

We are told to write seven hundredths as a fraction and a decimal. Why don’t you get some paper and a pencil out and see if you can do that before we do it together? All right, so let’s do it first as a fraction. So what is going to be the denominator of…
