Twin spacecraft, known as STEREO, for Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory, blasted off Wednesday night on a mission to study huge eruptions from the sun that can damage satellites and disrupt electrical and communications systems on Earth.
Good thing NASA is planning a night landing too. ;-)
ahhhhh, sunspots - MY EYES - MY EYES!

ReplyDeleteDo look! This is a beautiful high resolution photo of the sun. It shows amazing detail.
ReplyDeleteThat's a dangerous mission. Just look at that sun. The Debil lives there!
ReplyDeleteNight landing, har!
ReplyDeleteWouldn't it be ironic if huge eruptions from the sun damaged this STEREO satellite?
