NASA STEREO – Sun 360
Launched in October 2006, STEREO traces the flow of energy and matter from the sun to Earth. It also provides unique and revolutionary views of the sun-Earth system. The mission observed the sun in 3-D for the first time in 2007. In 2009, the twin spacecraft revealed the 3-D structure of coronal mass ejections which are violent eruptions of matter from the sun that can disrupt communications, navigation, satellites and power grids on Earth. Seeing the whole sun front and back simultaneously will enable significant advances in space weather forecasting for Earth and for planning for future robotic and manned spacecraft missions throughout the solar system. These views are the result of observations by NASA’s two Solar TErrestrial Relations Observatory (STEREO) spacecraft. The duo are on diametrically opposite sides of the sun, 180 degrees apart. One is ahead of Earth in its orbit, the other trailing behind. Credit: NASA

We have just one star, what about those other Solar systems that contain more than 8 or 10 suns at their very core, i bet there are other civilizations with higger tech, better behaviour whose own satellites are biomech methamorph of the cosmos itself.. our elder brothers and sisters… we are aliens ourlselves..

Mr. Smarty pants,
If you know anything about astronomy, Mercury does have a “wild” orbit. Thats why we see only a extremely small amounts of Mercury eclipsing the Sun. Please check your facts before making comments
Shame on NASA for the simulation! The orbits of Mercury and Venus do not “wobble” so violently. They precess, sure, but the movie makes it look like they are dancing.
Science again opens the window to the universe just a crack. What a view!
Man I hope Congress gives more funding to Nasa to support innovative programs like this. Keep up the good work.
