Spacecraft return Sun panoramas

Twin Nasa spacecraft have returned panoramic images that will help scientists to study solar explosions capable of causing havoc on Earth.

The Stereo orbiters, which are nearing their final positions, will study violent solar eruptions known as Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs).

CMEs hurl energetic particles at Earth that can disrupt power grids and satellite communications.
