Take photos of the first 3-dimensional sun

The 3D image was taken and published by two independent satellites of the US Aeronautics and Space Agency (NASA) on June 6, allowing scientists to see the entire surface of the sun for the first time.

On February 6, two satellites were symmetrical according to the center of the sun. Therefore, they can capture half of the sun's surface at the same time.

Since then, NASA scientists have built the most complete picture ever of the solar star surface.

According to NASA, capturing images is as important as the moment people first set foot on the moon.

It also marks a major step forward in the space weather forecasting industry because satellites can observe the evolution of the solar storms toward Earth.

The information they collect plays an important role in protecting the communication system on earth.

Astronomer Robin Scagell said a big solar storm could have a big impact on people. " They can destroy satellites and can completely knock down the electricity network ," Scagell told Sky News .

Scientist Heinz Wolff also praised this new milestone: ' The sun is our life and a small change on its surface can significantly affect us. Getting a better picture of the sun will help us predict what will happen more . "
