By providing such unique viewpoints, the STEREO mission has offered scientists the ability to see all sides of the sun simultaneously for the first time in history, augmented with a view from the earth's perspective by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO). In addition to giving researchers a view of active regions on the sun before they even come over the horizon, combining two views is crucial for three-dimensional observations of the giant filaments that dance off the sun's surface or the massive eruptions of solar material known as coronal mass ejections (CMEs).}}
