As Seen by STEREO-B: The Carrington-Class CME of 2012
Like SDO, STEREO-B did not have a direct view of the coronal mass ejection (CME) launched by the sun on July 23, 2012. However, the active region involved was very close to the limb of the sun (lower left quadrant) and STEREO-B provided an excellent view of plasma launched in both ultraviolet light and the white-light coronagraph.
In this sequence from the STEREO-B, 304 angstrom ultraviolet filter, we see the CME rising from the lower left limb of the sun.
In this sequence from STEREO-B, we see more of the CME rising above the sun in the COR-2 imager.
In this sequence from the STEREO-B, 195 angstrom ultraviolet filter, we see the CME rising from the lower left limb of the sun.
