STEREO Observes a Lunar Eclipse of the Sun
 
STEREO is actually two spacecraft which, when fully operational, will make 3D pictures and movies of the Sun from their vantage points over a million miles apart. For now, this video shot by one of the craft is pretty fucking cool.

I didn't realize it happened so fast. :haha:
The Sun is very cool, writhing and bubbling like a live thing.

You're right. It IS cool.

Actually, it's pretty damn hot!

My mind is nearly boggled thinking about the 3D data that is going to come out of this mission. Can you imagine a solar prominence or a huge coronal mass ejection shown in 3D video?

I should have put this in the "What Gives You Wood" thread, 'cause I'm getting a stiffy.
