AB: We use SECCHI (Sun Earth Connection Coronal and Heliospheric Investigation) observations to construct "height/time" maps of material flows in the heliosphere from the Sun to elongation angles beyond 90 degrees. Close to the Sun, we see accelerating tracks of ejecta (like streamer blobs) close to the sky plane. Farther from the Sun, we see groups of parallel tracks, some near the sky plane and some out of the plane. At the greatest elongations, we see a collection of non-parallel tracks, some merging and some crossing, and mainly from directions well out of the sky plane. These maps and their associated time- lapse movies are providing a new view of mass flows and their interactions in the inner heliosphere.
