Solar alert

Issued on 2024 Mar 06 2114 UTC

A partial halo Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) was observed in SOHO/LASCO-C2 images at 21:24 UTC and detected by Cactus tool on Mar 5. It is associated with a filament eruption on SE quadrant of the Sun. It has a projected speed of 520 km/s and a projected width of 138 degree (as measured by Cactus tool). Due to the main propagation direction of the CME being strongly southward from the Sun-Earth, the CME-flank encounter is possible but not very probable. The arrival of only the CME-driven shock is more probable at the Earth on Mar 09.
