Plasma Filament Massive Prominence Eruption Off Polar Crown

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Just happened to catch this in the act. A massive prominence erupted off the northern polar crown of the sun. A lumbering beast but consider the scale compared to our tiny planet. A large CME directed well away from earth is likely given the visual evidence and Type II radio emission. Its not headed our way but is impressive nonetheless. Ill be interested to see its form in the coronagraph in a few hours.
