Five major eruptions were observed to produce spectacular phenomena above the limb during Skylab. All are seen best in He II at 304 A. The event of January 17, 1974 was the only one that was observed in high transition and coronal lines. This eruption had at least five major parts; their forms were entirely different spatially, and they maximized at different temperatures. The observations began not less than 20 min after the main eruptive phase and extended for 1 h. The greatest detail was present in He II at 304 A; this included groups of long curved rays 2 arcsec in diameter at the instrumental resolution. Many parts of the He II feature changed intensity but not position. Therefore, it is difficult to distinguish mass motion from spatially changing excitation.
