Slow rising, multiple loops/cavities with bright, twisted (prominence?) core superposed on streamer. Core is under northern half of loop. Rapid acceleration at ~10:01. Bright, non-radial ray forms at core location at ~18:00. Motion (ejection?) of material along bright ray until end of June 01. Large deflections. Streamer is disrupted. Solar north is toward the upper left in each image.
