We present observations of a spectacular eruption of a huge quiescent prominence, which was clearly associated with a coronal mass ejection (CME). The CME consisted of a typical three-part structure: a bright loop-like leading edge, a dark cavity and a bright core. The prominence exhibited a very symmetrical loop-like eruption in low corona and matched well with the bright CME core trailing the CME leading edge. By combining the $H_{\alpha}$, 17GHz and EUV observations with white-light coronagraphs observations, the bright CME core was conclusively identified as the erupting cool, dense prominence material.To search for other articles by the author(s) go to: http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abstract_service.html
