STEREO (Solar TErrestrial RElations Observatory) is a solar observation mission. Two nearly identical spacecraft (STEREO-A, STEREO-B) were launched in 2006 into orbits around the Sun that cause them to respectively pull farther ahead of and fall gradually behind the Earth. This enabled stereoscopic imaging of the Sun and solar phenomena, such as coronal mass ejections.

STEREO (acronimo di "Solar TErrestrial RElations Observatory") è una missione scientifica finalizzata allo studio del Sole lanciata dalla NASA il 26 ottobre 2006. La missione consta di due sonde gemelle lanciate in orbite che consentono di ottenere delle immagini stereoscopiche della nostra stella e dei suoi fenomeni, come le espulsioni di massa dalla corona.
