<b>Caption:</b>

Starting at about 2300 UT on 26 February 2000, a large filament eruption could
be seen in images from the Extreme ultraviolet Imaging Telescope (EIT) on the
SOHO spacecraft. About an hour later, the filament eruption could be seen as a
classical 3-part CME inside the LASCO C3 field of view, showing a bright
frontal loop surrounding a dark cavity with a bright core.
