      <Description>Cluster is a constellation of four spacecraft flying in formation around Earth. 
        They relay the most detailed information ever about 
        how the solar wind affects our planet in three dimensions. 
        The solar wind (the perpetual stream of subatomic particles given out by the Sun) 
        can damage communications satellites and power stations on Earth. 
        The original operation life-time of the Cluster mission ran from February 
        2001 to December 2005.
