A pair of prominences began to shift, turn and fall apart over the sun's edge on May 8-9, seen in this SDO footage.
Prominences are notoriously unstable. Competing magnetic forces pulled the plasma back and forth until they dissipated. The images were taken in a wavelength of extreme ultraviolet light.
