This filament seems to be floating now on 304a - I expect a snap, lift or eruption from it very soon 

Something happened to this filament, almost looked like it was splitting by around 14-15 UTC

I‘m seeing something right at the center on SUVI 195&304Å, filament released right towards us? Need someone with more knowledge to check

I thought I saw something earlier also but in 131 Å

There is a somewhat decent looking filament coming close to center disk. If it can launch...

Looks like there was just some activity from that filament, visible rippling out from the center of it in 304 Å from around 14:30. Not entirely sure if there was any launch or not, hard to see.

Does not really look like anything got launched there, and if something did its probably not significant. I hope this thing just completely shoots outta there soon and gives us a nice CME ^^

Is the Earth above the sun's equator right now? 

Roughly in line with the equator and the central meridian. Filament seems targeting to the south of Sun-Earth. In my opinion we need at least partial halo CME for thinking about impact more direct than small glancing blow, much wider than many of CMEs observed this week by LASCO. We'll see :)

Just to clarify in case there's some confusion about this: in the imagery Earth would be right in the center, regardless of where the actual Solar equator is.

As for whether or not Earth is above or below that equator, it's below it during this time of the year (if you consider "up" to be in the direction of the Solar north pole). In other words, in the imagery the equator would look tilted slightly upward to us; this is what it looks like now:

The red arc is the Solar equator, and the black crosshairs to show the direction of Earth right in the center.
