Multi-probe in situ measurements in the auroral acceleration region became a reality in November 2008, when the orbit of the European Space Agency Cluster satellites, was lowered to cover this region, typically located between 5000 and 12000 km altitude above the polar atmosphere. Results are presented from Cluster crossings of this region, at different altitudes and with time separations of a few minutes between the spacecraft. The unique observations allow us to address the spatial and temporal properties of this region, such as the morphology and stability in space and time of the associated quasi-static electric potential structures. The formation of such acceleration structures is a fundamental and ubiquitous space plasma process, taking place not only around Earth, but around many other solar system planets, such as Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn.
