The two STEREO-SECCHI Extreme Ultraviolet Imagers (EUVI) have been observing the solar corona since
December 2006, and from two significantly different vantage points since about March 2007. The continuous
simultaneous observations from both telescopes, combined with multi-wavelength, full sun coverage open up a
new way to study the 3-dimensional structure and dynamics of the corona, including coronal mass ejections.
Members of the SECCHI team are working on 3-D reconstructions of coronal phenomena, and on other
techniques that take advantage of the multi-point aspect of the observations. This talk will showcase movies of
selected phenomena, and present some of the work in progress. Access to the observations, and the data
analysis tools are reaching a level of maturity that allows the general solar physics community to participate in
this exciting investigation.
