Subject: [Anaglyphs] STEREO satellite views

The STEREO satellites ( http://stereo.gsfc.nasa.gov/ ) are sending back great images of the sun.  They have placed two satellites in space, one in front of earth in its orbit and the other behind resulting in a ~5 degree stereo baseline.  The images range from visible to deep UV. 
 
They just announced that they were going to post the first anaglyphs on the 23rd, so I couldn't resist the temptation to create a pair from their data and release it to you all a little early.   I found an image search engine on their site that allowed me to find two images at exactly the same time. 
 
The attached image is from the deep UV (171 nM wavelength) and has been adjusted from the blue color they release them in to a violet using anabuilder. 
 
This image and a zoomed version that will follow look impressive to me.  It is too bad that the satellites went online at the solar sunspot minimum in its 11 year cycle.  Not too much exciting stuff right now.  I'm anxious to see some real solar activity in stereo from STEREO.
