| STEREO will use stereoscopic (3-D) vision to construct a global picture of the Sun and its influences. Its objective to obtain the necessary measurements and observations to develop an understanding of the fundamental nature and origin of coronal mass ejecteions - the most energetic eruptions on the Sun and primary cause of major geomagnetic storms.

| The Sun influences Earth in many ways. On one hand it provides the light and heat that sustains life on our planet. On the other hand it bathes the Earth in ultraviolet light, showers it with x-rays, gamma-rays, electrons, and atomic nuclei, and wraps the Earth in the folds of its own magnetic field.

| These four pictures are four different views of the Sun. Each false-color view highlights atomic emission in different temperature regimes of the upper solar atmosphere. Yellow is 2 million Kelvin, Green is 1.5 million K, Blue is 1 million K, and Red is 60 to 80 thousand K. Image Credit: Stereo Project/NASA. |
