IF there was ever any doubt concerning the form of the Sun, there isn’t any extra - thanks to a groundbreaking project beaming 3D photos of the star back to Earth.

“It’s official: the Solar is a sphere,” Nasa proclaimed Sunday because it unveiled the pictures which for the first time show the sun from each angle. However the Photo voltaic Terrestrial Relations Observatory (Stereo) venture is about more than simply providing pretty pictures.

It was made attainable for the primary time yesterday after the cameras, launched in 2006, arrived in the best place, each filming half of the sun.

Angelos Vourlidas, a member of the Stereo science group at the Naval Analysis Lab in Washington, mentioned: “For the primary time ever, we can watch solar exercise in its full three-dimensional glory. “This can be a large moment in solar physics. Stereo has revealed the sun as it actually is - a sphere of scorching plasma and intricately woven magnetic fields.”
