The Sun Earth Connection Coronal and Heliospheric Investigation (SECCHI) on the NASA Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory (STEREO) mission is a suite of remote sensing instruments consisting of an extreme ultraviolet (EUV) imager, two white light coronagraphs, and two telescopes that comprise the heliospheric imager. The main objective of SECCHI is to observe coronal mass ejections (CMEs) from their birth at the sun, through the corona and into the heliosphere. A complete instrument suite is being carried on each of the two STEREO spacecraft, which will provide the first sampling of a CME from two vantage points as the spacecraft separate from each other at the rate of about 45 degrees per year. We will show examples of some of the data and some of the initial stereo results. Recorded presentation
