Description

I had been imaging earlier this morning and stopped at 15:10 UT as there was little going on and seeing was pretty poor.  I went back out just to check things out at 16:35 and noticed a very bright prom on the NE Limb at about the 10:00 position that was not there earlier.  I started capturing frames for this short 20 minute animation of what evidently was a big blast that did not last long since it totally disappears in 10 minutes and watching some of the GONG videos it only shows up as a blip on the Cerro Tololo site for the blink of an eye!  This is running forward only but I ought to reverse it too as it is pretty awesome to think the initial eruption looked similar to this in reverse!  I hope somebody else witnessed this event!
