We present SDO/AIA observations of a potentially novel type of prominence, called “funnel prominence”, that forms out of coronal condensation at magnetic dips.

They can drain a large amount of mass (up to ~1015 g day−1) and may play an important role as return flows of the chromosphere-corona mass cycle.
