Large Prominence Eruption and CME March 9. 2024

A large prominence eruption was detected by SDO on March 9th (beginning at 02:00 UTC). A partial halo CME was first observed in SOHO, LASCOC2 coronagraph imagery at 05:12 UTC. The CME has a projected speed of 1562 km, s and a projected width of 130 degree (as measured by Cactus tool). Due to the main propagation direction of the CME being strongly south east from the SunEarth line, the CMEflank encounter is not possible at Earth but glancing blow cannot be excluded. Further analysis is goingon to investigate if this CME has Earth directed components.
