coronal rain
Material that condenses in the Sun's corona and falls along curved paths onto the chromosphere. Observed in H-alpha light at the solar limb above strong sunspots, coronal rain consists of gas ejected by a loop prominence that returns, several hours later, along the outline of the now invisible loop.
