As reported yesterday, LASCO and EIT observed a full halo CME on
2000/11/24. The event was first seen in C2 at 05:30 UT as a bright front
over the NW limb, and became a full halo extending over 360 degrees. The
measured speed in the plane of the sky was an average of 711 km/s
at PA 330 (NW limb), through the C2 and C3 fields of view. The speed may
have been higher at lower altitudes, and there may be some deceleration in
C3.

EIT observed a X2.0 flare and wave event from AR 9236 (located at N21
E06), beginning at 05:00 UT. This major event was preceded by several
hours of bright jets from the same region.

Images and movies of this event can be found at the LASCO ftp server:

Best wishes,

Simon Plunkett.
