NASA and their website are awesome. It won't be long before we Earthlings are proven to be mere bacteria in God's intestines.

So, STEREO is TWO spacecraft, hence the STEREO-B shots. Its mission is all about the sun. Quick cool page is here, with Quicktime movies showing how the two spacecraft work in consort to gain their 3-D data. http://stereo.gsfc.nasa.gov/orbit.shtml
