There are 2 spacecraft that are moving towards opposite sides of the sun so we will be able to always see the full globe. Both are in the same orbit as Earth STEREO A is the one Ahead of us and STEREO B is the one Behind us hence A & B.
these are the images the spacecrafts are sending back
As for the planet rising in the East, yep its Venus, Mars is there too but not as bright.
