Sun snapped in stereo for first all-round view - Science, News - The Independent

Sun snapped in stereo for first all-round view - Science, News - The Independent: "The sun in all its illuminating glory has for the first time been photographed on all sides at once in an historic image that could help to revolutionise our understanding of the immense magnetic forces at the burning heart of our own star.

A full 360-degree portrait of the Sun was released yesterday by Nasa, the US space agency, after two identical spacecraft were aligned in their solar orbits precisely opposite one another on each side of the star."
