STEREO

STEREO (Solar TErrestrial RElations Observatory) is a NASA solar observation mission.

Two nearly identical spacecraft were launched into orbits around the sun that cause them to respectively pull farther ahead of and fall gradually behind the Earth. This will enable stereoscopic imaging of the Sun and solar phenomena, such as coronal mass ejections.
