Coronal mass ejection — 2026-09-24 02:53 UTC
CME observed to the E only in STEREO A COR2, likely not seen in other coronagraphs due to the occulting disk and/or faint leading edge. The start time of 2026-09-24T02:53Z in white light is later than the first observation at 2026-09-24T01:38Z in running difference imagery due to the bright streamer overlap. The source may be an eruption from AR 14536 centered around N03W32, observed as slow dimming, brightening, and field line movement in SDO AIA 171/193 starting around 2026-09-23T21:06Z. In STEREO A COR2, there is a faint leading edge observed already far in the east field-of-view after a data gap ends at 2026-09-24T01:23Z that better corresponds to this eruption time, but is also plausible to be a candidate source for this CME.
