NASA has released the first-ever 360-degree panoramic images of the Sun. Two Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory satellites, launched in 2006, have gradually been drifting apart -- one in front of the Earth in its orbit, the other lagging behind.
The US space agency on Sunday said the spacecraft had arrived at points that put the Sun directly between them. They have, in fact, moved either side of Sun to establish observing positions.
