... unable to capture, regarding the direction and speed of solar storms. SOLAR TERRESTRIAL RELATIONS OBSERVATORY STEREO could also sample the contents of solar storms and gauge the magnetic properties of the eruptions. Before the SOLAR TERRESTRIAL RELATIONS OBSERVATORY STEREO mission, scientists could not make measurements or collect subsequent data about CMEs until the ejections ...

... from 90 degrees and top and bottom. Then they also took this complicated set of stereo pairs. If you take pictures at a small angle, depending on the distance, the angle ... you’re taking the picture of, to get a stereo image. You can look at it in a stereo viewer and actually get a stereo view, a three-dimensional view, of the rock. So we would take these sets of pictures at the same different orthogonal directions, only stereo pairs. That was a set of like 40 pictures. Those would always be black-and ...
