Description

Was lucky today and caught a huge solar prominence liftoff off of the sun's limb today.  Pixel counting and the timing between frames the liftoff accelerated to between 105,000mph and 135,000mph (170,000kph to 220,000kph)!!!  Does anyone know if this results in a coronal mass ejection?
