NASA SDO - Graceful Eruption, March 16, 2013

A solar prominence began to bow out and the broke apart in a graceful, floating style during a little less than four hours of March 16, 2013).

The sequence was captured in extreme ultraviolet light. A large cloud of the particles appeared to hover further out above the surface before it faded away.
