New magnetic loops formed in the corona beneath coronal mass ejections, CMEs, provide strong evidence that magnetic reconnection commonly occurs within the magnetic `legs' of the departing CMEs. Such reconnection is inherently 3-dimensional and produces a magnetic flux rope structure within a CME. Depending upon how far reconnection proceeds, the …
