Earth's shadow

Yesterday's APOD has a very cool multiple exposure picture of the moon passing through the earth's shadow, partially that is. It really gives a impressive sense of earth's shadow, even more than the usual total eclipse photos.

You know I wander around the intertubes, right? Who doesn't? Anyway, I saw this collection of strange google Earth images. Yeah, it is kind of dumb, but this one made me think:
I frequently hear people imply, if they don't state directly, that two working eyes are required for depth perception. This is surprising because with a moment's reflection, it's easy to see that there are depth cues that don't require both eyes.
"To morrow, I believe, is to be an eclipse of the sun, and I think it perfectly meet and proper that the sun in the heavens, and the glory of the Republic should both go into obscurity and darkness together." -Benjamin F. Wade
