What really happened, did the sun pull a vacuum or did ABC reverse the footage?
Tonight I was watching ABC news where they showed a prominince ejecting from the left side of the sun. Then a 'crater' seemed to form where the plasma ejected and everything was drawn back into the sun.
ABC run this footage about twice.
What really happened?
Does the sun suck back ejected plasma?

no it does not. What you are seeing the collapse of the magnetic lines that protruded from the Sun's surface and the plasma that went along for the ride on those magnetic lines. Only a small portion of those plasma actually gets fling out when the magnetic lines collapsed and those are pretty much invisible compare to the large amount that falls back into the Sun.

Yes, the plasma can move in all directions, including back toward the Sun. Magnetic fields control the movement of the plasma and the magnetic field lines can be all tangled up in sunspots.
