Solar Storms at CME Halo (Earth-directed)
Right now
The most recent data we hold from SOHO LASCO arrived 7 hours ago, and this point is not in it. We record detections, not passes: an absence is not proof that nothing is there.
Reported by SOHO LASCO 122 days ago.
What the source measured
SOHO LASCO reported: Coronal Mass Ejection detected at 2026-05-16T16:36Z. Linear speed: 1201 km/s. Half-angle: 22°. Full halo CME — potential global geomagnetic impact. ENLIL model indicates Earth-directed component. CME observed to the NW in SOHO LASCO C2/C3 and GOES CCOR-1, and NE in STEREO A COR2. The source is observed as significant dimming and an EUV wave centered around N30W13, and field line movement, in S
How we know
One source: SOHO LASCO. Not yet confirmed by a second, independent source.
Our own score for this event is 22 out of 100.
This is our versioned heuristic index, not source severity or a calibrated probability. Urban PEI does not count unique people.
Computed under scoring rules v1. Rows carrying other versions were judged by different rules and are not directly comparable.

Physical priority index · v1. Heuristic priority, not calibrated probability, predictive accuracy or damage. The legacy data-support index combines assigned source support and field availability. Urban PEI is distance-weighted and does not count unique people; zero does not establish that nobody is present. Model cards.
