The Sun's limb, in stereo

 Just down from space: Nasa's paired solar imaging satellites (Solar TErrestrial RElations Observatory, or STEREO; what a bunch of wiseacres they are over there) have sent back the first 3-D images and movies of the Sun. Yum yum.

(Some of these might be better with the red/green glasses, but they work OK for me. Especially the videos -- the depth / 3D effect is really impressive.)

I'm mesmerised now. And I'm supposed to be checking room availability and other equally mundane tasks...

Very cool. Thanks for the link. :)

Now I have to go find me some red/green glasses . . .
