2-hr time-lapse sun's atmosphere ( Chromosphere) prominence/lift-off of plasma filament AR-3599 CME

Imaged from my backyard in Batavia Ohio this is a 2-hr time-lapse of the sun's atmosphere ( Chromosphere) on March 11, 2024, showing a major prominence and the lift-off of a plasma filament from AR-3599 that may have produced a CME. I don't yet know if the CME is confirmed and if any of it was earth-directed.
Please let me know if you have any questions!
FYI:
AR-Active Region, typically a magnetic storm on the surface of the Earth containing one or more sunspots.
CME-Coronlal Mass Ejection, a huge mass of charged plasma typically many times the volume of the Earth shot into space out of the sun's atmosphere. These can cause aurora and other effects on the Earth if sent in our direction.

can you please explain what is prominence about? In layman's language.

[@timoconnor9760]

sure! During active periods of the sun, like we are in now, sun spots and other storms on the suns surface bring strong magnetic fields above the surface of the sun. These fields funnel the charged hot plasma that makes up the atmosphere of the sun through them. Some of them are huge and powerful and the displays they make are amazing. Let me know if that helps.
