Snapshots of the CME early evolution as seen in AIA 131 Å (blue hues), 304 Å (red image) and 195 Å (running difference; black and white) channels. The arrows point to features discussed in the corresponding text (two left frames: formation of hot flux rope; two right frames: southern expansion and eruption of a filament). These constitute the two components of the CME detected in the coronagraphs. The full animation is available online.
