This interesting solar prominence developed early in the morning on October 8th, 2015. While returning from a short break from a sequence of video captures, I noticed an unusual flare rising in the middle of this arching prominence. The above images show the before (9:40 PT) and after (10:40 PT) emergence of this flare. Time-stamped images from NSO show this flare developing at 17:15 UT and dissipating at 18:15 UT, as seen in the video clip below.
