The Sun in 3-D

NASA is going to show the world what the sun really looks like this monday April 23:

"NASA will unveil 3-D images of the sun from NASA's Solar TErrestrial RElations Observatory (STEREO) on the web, television and museums across the country. For first time, scientists will be able to see structures in the Sun's atmosphere in three dimensions. The new view will improve space weather forecasting and greatly aid scientist's ability to understand solar physics."
So on Monday whip out your 3-D glasses and tab this link: http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/stereo/main/index.html

What! You don't have 3-D glasses, NASA has a page to help you make your own.
