The video begins in 304 angstrom extreme ultraviolet and ends with 171 angstrom. || A beautiful prominence eruption producing a coronal mass ejection (CME) shot off the east limb (left side) of the sun on April 16, 2012. Such eruptions are often associated with solar flares, and in this case an M1 class (medium-sized) flare occurred at the same time, peaking at 1:45 PM EDT. The CME was not aimed toward Earth.For full 4k frames of the April 15 small eruption and April 16 large eruption go here. || Close-up in 304 || Full size SDO image in 304 angstrom. || Full size SDO image in 304 angstrom. || Full size SDO image in 304 angstrom. || The eruption in several wavelengths (131, 304, 171, 193 from left to right).Credit: NASA/GSFC/SDO/Alex Young
