Data from several collaborations will be shown which demonstrate the utility of EUVE observations. For Mk 478, a Seyfert 1 galaxy, the rapidly variable EUV flux is shown to have a steep, featureless continuum. The EUV data are combined with UV and optical data to form an overall spectrum that is consistent with an accretion disk model; slight temperature variations in the innermost regions could cause the large EUV flux changes. EUVE data for other sources are presented: NGC 5548, which shows significant variations and has an EUV spectrum that shows no emission lines, contrary to a previous report; 3C 273, which did not vary much; and PKS 2155-304, which was observed simultaneously with ASCA and IUE when a hard X-ray flare was detected as an EUV polarization measurement was being attempted.
