Subject: Possible halo CME on 2000/08/25

LASCO and EIT observed a possible faint halo CME today, 2000/08/25. A
bright event was observed in C2 above the East limb at 14:36 UT, with an
associated faint component that extends at least over the North and South
poles, and may also extend along the West limb. The halo component is too
faint to measure a reliable speed.

EIT observed an eruption on the East limb at 14:36, with activity also on
the disk at longitudes greater than E60. A flare (X-ray class M1.4) was
observed in AR 9143, located at about S15 E61, in EIT at 14:36 UT.

Images and movies of this event are available at the LASCO ftp server:

Best wishes,

Simon Plunkett.
