Solar Storms at CME Halo
Right now
The most recent data we hold from SOHO LASCO arrived 4 hours ago, and this point is in it.
Reported by SOHO LASCO yesterday.
What the source measured
SOHO LASCO reported: Coronal Mass Ejection detected at 2026-09-05T18:09Z. Linear speed: 1110 km/s. Half-angle: 30°. Full halo CME — potential global geomagnetic impact. This CME is visible to the east in STEREO A COR2 and GOES CCOR-1 imagery. The source is related to an eruption and C8.5 flare from Active Region 14524 (N12E42) as seen in SDO AIA 131/171/193/304, GOES
How we know
One source: SOHO LASCO. Not yet confirmed by a second, independent source.
Our own score for this event is 35 out of 100, at 49 % confidence.
The score is ours, computed from intensity, exposed population and local history — not the source’s.
Computed under scoring rules v4. Rows carrying other versions were judged by different rules and are not directly comparable.
