STEREO's Panoramic View of the Sun [1080p]

The STEREO mission -- twin solar observatories launched on October 26, 2006 -- presents a new view of the space between the Earth and the Sun.

This view from the STEREO-A satellite, demonstrates the broad range of sky coverage by the five cameras of the SECCHI instrument.

This movie starts at a close-up of the Sun in ultraviolet from STEREO EUVI and pulls out to reveal the broad sky coverage of the Heliospheric Imager (HI) cameras.
