Check out this cool effect on SOHO, like a spirit, sort of..Looks cool.

Watch how this black whatever spirit like hangs around the edge of the Sun, it tries to fly away, then it gets sucked in like a vacuum. Looks really cool and was posted like 6 hours ago. Best viewed in high definition.

How bizarre!

i had to check the original as it almost looked like it had been reversed.

Thanks for sharing!

Cool shot, thanks OP. Any ideas on what this kind of phenomenon is?

OP’s clip says 6/23/12
spaceweather.com...
spaceweather.com for that day says

A long filament of magnetism snaking over the sun's northwestern limb erupted this morning, hurling much of itself into space. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory recorded the blast:
A bright CME billowed away from the blast site. Because of the explosion's location on the NW edge of the solar disk, the cloud will not hit Earth. This event was photogenic but not geoeffective

Has a clip from SDO. May be the same thing.
