Have you ever wondered what a solar eclipse would look like from space? The
STEREO (Solar TErrestrial RElations Observatory) has
just sent back its view (awe-inspiring video included). It has also sent back some
gorgeous pictures of our sun (and the McNaught Comet). For more media, check out the
other galleries (including some 3D images). For more about the project, see
NASA's STEREO homepage. Be sure to also stop by the
Johns Hopkins University STEREO Page, where you can
download a mission guide (pdf), view animations, watch a video of the launch, or even
make your own papercraft STEREO model (pdf). You can also learn more in six minute segments with their
series of short educational videos.
