The first spacecraft designed to capture 3-D "stereo" views of the sun and solar wind have been shipped from the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) in Laurel, Md., to NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) in Greenbelt, Md., for their next round of pre-launch tests. http://www.stereo.jhuapl.edu/ |

This brings to my mind the question of whether this might lead to indirect detection of the existence of sub-mercurial asteroids.

I can't see how you could detect such asteroids when the tail itself is many times less bright than the parent object. Scattered light would be a pain.
