    Hi Erica;

    Indeed! in fact it is called STEREO, but it stands for Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory. One spacecraft is ahead of the Earth in orbit, one trails behind. The spacecraft are still pretty close together but will be getting farther apart (and a better "stereo" view) with time. For more details, the STEREO mission has a nice website, see http://stereo.gsfc.nasa.gov/
