I call  this "In the line of fire".
This line of prominences appeared on the Sun on Nov 3. Measuring approximately 360,000km along the disc with the tallest plume 51,000km high. Also visible were 2 quite 3D looking filaments, the right hand one projected into the edge prominence. Earth added for scale.
