Grab your red and green stereo glasses and go take a look at the impressive anaglyphs of the Sun taken by the STEREO satellites at the NASA press release site or at the mission website. Images from the STEREO satellites provide our first true stereo view of the sun. In the past it was possible to produce only pseudo stereo images of the sun by taking images at different times or by changing the projection point of view. These images were created by taking images simultaneously from the two satellites in various wavelengths.
