On April 9, 2008 a CME originating from an active region behind the limb was well-observed by STEREO, Hinode, TRACE and SoHO. Several interesting features connected to this eruption were observed. (1) The interaction of the CME with open field lines from a nearby coronal hole appeared to cause an abrupt change in the direction of the CME ejecta. (2) The prominence material was heated, as evidenced by a change from absorption to emission in the EUV wavelengths. (3) Because the active region was behind the limb, the X-Ray Telescope on Hinode was able to take long enough exposure times to observe a faint current- sheet like structure, and it was able to monitor the dynamics of the plasma surrounding this structure. This event is also being studied in the context of activity that occurred during the Whole Heliosphere Interval (WHI).
