Coronal mass ejection — 2026-09-18 03:24 UTC
CME visible to the NE in SOHO LASCO C2/C3. The CME is also faintly visible to the NE in GOES CCOR-1 following a data gap due to Earthshine from 2026-09-18T03:45Z to 2026-09-18T06:10Z. The CME is not visible in STEREO A COR2 imagery. The source is beyond the NE limb and is seen as moving field lines starting at 2026-09-18T02:35Z in GOES SUVI 284 and SDO AIA 171/193 imagery.
