LASCO and EIT observed a full halo CME on 2001/02/02. The event was
first observed in C2 at 14:54 UT, as a bright loop front over the E limb.
At 15:30 this bright front extended from about PA 40 to PA 120, while
fainter extensions could be seen around the remainder of the C2 occulting
disk. The plane-of-sky speed of the leading edge through to the edge of
the C3 field of view was about 390 km/s at PA 93 (E limb).

The CME was probably associated with an eruptive prominence
liftoff on or near the limb, near AR 9335. EIT observed the
outward motion of the prominence from 10:00 to 10:48. All
activity observed was on or very near the limb.

Images and movies of this event are available at:

Best wishes,

Gareth Lawrence.
