Pair of Satellites Will Document Sun in 3-D Article

This article talks about how scientists are constructing two satellites that will study the sun. To get the satellites into the necessary orbit, they will use the pull of the moon's gravity to help position them. They will be in slightly different orbits so they can get a 3D picture of the sun.

The sun is a perfect example of enery. You can tell it is using energy because of the heat and light it gives off. It also gives off enery in coronal mass ejections, where it sends out supercharged particles outward. The energy that these particles have is enough to cause the northern and southern lights in the sky. It is also powerful enough to mess up electrical equipment in outer space.
