STEREO 3D Sun maps now using SDO data

 

As the two STEREO spacecraft continue their journey along Earth's orbital path, one 70 degrees ahead of Earth and one 70 degrees behind, they have reached the point where they can almost see the Sun on the opposite side of Earth.  The maps and movies are now using SDO data to complete the picture.  http://stereo-ssc.nascom.nasa.gov/beacon/beacon_secchi.shtml
