Stealthy CME Located

The filament that ejected was the dark feature just above the arrow. The reason these type of CMEs are so stealthy is that they’re so directly oriented towards the coronagraph that they don’t appear until long after they eject. In other words, the coronagraph obscures the ejecta until it’s well out of the corona. This is a fine example of a nearly fully Earth directed CME appearing to be mostly off to the west!
