The bulk of the CME propagates in the SW direction but also wraps around to the NE making it a full halo as it progresses outwards. The progression to a full halo occurs by 4:48 UT in C2 and 5:30 UT in C3. The CME is the result of a far sided eruption as evidence of opening field lines and an EUV wave observed beyond the SW limb beginning at 3:51 UT best seen in SDO AIA 171/193. STEREO Beacon Data COR2 A, preliminary time/height measurements gives a velocity of 1962.9 km/s at a PA of 197.57. STEREO COR2A shows a bright halo emerging from the SW at 4:23UT. The CME progresses outwards in all directions with majority of the CME being in the SW. As the CME propages outwards it wraps around to the NE into a full halo. Preliminary UCMEO velocity and position measurements are delivered first.
