I was on the SOHO website looking at the latest images of the sun and noticed a CME (Coronal mass ejection).  So I downloaded the images and made a short video.

Coronal Mass Ejections range in speed from about 20 km/s to 2,700 km/s with an average speed (based on SOHO/LASCO measurements between 1996 and 2003) of 489 km/s.
