ON 1979 September 27 NRL's Earth-Orbiting coronagraph (Solwind) observed a coronal mass ejection whose outward direction in the plane of the sky was within 12 /sup 0/ of the Sun's north polar axis. Such high-latitude transients were not observed by OSO 7 and Skylab coronagraphs during the declining phase of the last sunspot cycle, but may be relatively common near sunspot maximum.
