"NASA puts on 3-D glasses to view sun" POSTED: 3:15 p.m. EDT, April 23, 2007 " GREENBELT, Maryland (AP) -- NASA released the first three-dimensional images of the sun Monday, saying the photos taken from twin spacecraft may lead to better predictions of solar eruptions that can affect communications and power lines on Earth. "The first reaction was 'Great, the instruments work,' but beyond that the first reaction was 'Wow!"' scientist Simon Plunkett said as he explained the images to a room full of journalists and scientists wearing 3-D glasses. The images from the STEREO spacecraft (for Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory) are available on the Internet and at museums and science centers nationwide." http://www.cnn.com/2007/TECH/space/04/23/solar.eruptions.ap/index.html and the STEREO web-site http://stereo.gsfc.nasa.gov/ http://stereo.gsfc.nasa.gov/gallery/gallery.shtml http://stereo.gsfc.nasa.gov/gallery/3dimages/3dimages.shtml

I've been talking about this with one of my best friends (who is, oddly enough, also on this site) and happens to work for NASA's Space Grant Consortium. It's really a pretty exciting advance, especially in the long run. Don't get me wrong, it is helpful now, but if you think what it can help us understand and do over time it's especially important. Thanks for the great links!

You are both most welcome. [:)] Nature is my inspiration and my passion. May our wonder never cease.
