Cornonal Mass Ejection today 7th February 23

[Nigella Bryant]

Hi all. a coronal mass ejection occured at 13:05UT this afternoon. I only caught the middle of it from about 13.50UT. The plasma plume was developing before my eyes. Fascinating stuff. Screenshots for now. Nigella.

Impressive imaged, thanks Nigella.
By luck I had aquick look see at the right time, and its still impressive now.
I love the Suns dynamic nature and being able to work from home and see it sometimes.

Brilliant stuff Alan, I love solar dynamics, something new each day to observe. I've never caught a CME before, really pleased.

Thanks Jeremy, I nearly missed it as was just about to change from HA to WL when I noticed the huge plume of plasma unfolding on the South Eastern limb.

You are so lucky Nigella to catch it from the beginning. I was out before it started and did an image of the whole Sun but no sign at that stage. By the time I had gone round the limb imaging the small proms I came across it when it was quite huge so like you continued to take many images. Also, like you it was my first CME. We are just so lucky and privileged to experience that.

Well done Dave, you caught it too. We are lucky to have witnessed it for sure.
