Details:
For some reason the animated gif did not upload in my previous post so I give it a second try by posting them as separate images instead.
I read the headline THE SUN IS SO BLANK, IT LOOKS LIKE A BILLIARD BALL here on Spaceweather as I was photographing the Sun in Ha and I have to disagree ;-)
These images were taken quite late in the afternoon.
The animated gif shows a protuberance that has separated from the Suns surface. It is extremely fast as only 2 minutes separate the shots taken at 17h29m17s and 17h41m35s respectively.
On images taken just 10 minutes later, part of it falls back on the Sun and part disintegrate above the surface.
As the exposures were very different I havent yet had time to include more images in the animation.
