Abstract
The relationship between the height of a solar filament observed above the photosphere before the eruption on October 21, 2010, and the critical height of a stable equilibrium of magnetic flux ropes in the coronal magnetic field is analyzed. Data from the SDO, SOHO, and STEREO space observatories observing at different viewing angles makes it possible to deduce these parameters with high accuracy. It is shown that the filament height slowly increased over several days, with the eruption occuring when the height reached the critical value of 80 Mm.
