The movies shown here were taken during the eruption of a prominence at the south-east limb. The Hinode/EIS data capture two components of emission – background corona at rest, and a significant but spatially narrow blue-shifted component at ~350 km s-1. This component is detected easily in the strong emission lines of Fe XII and He II: ions which are also detected in band-pass images by SDO/AIA. It appears along and above the northern edge of the near-side leg of the erupting prominence.

These movies are supplementary information for a poster a the IAU 300 symposium on The Nature of prominences and their role in Space Weather, by Williams, Baker, van Driel-Gesztelyi & Green.
