SOHO/LASCO observed a partial HALO CME on May 21, 2013. Event is first seen in
C2 beginning 02:24 UT with a slow multi-loop over the South. The event expands
with extensions PA 86 - 267 for a total width of 181 degrees wide. The event
continues into the C3 field beginning 03:06-07:418 UT still in progress at
last frame before a DSN data gap period.

Time/height measurements were marked at 4 points in C2 with speeds of
624.4 Km/sec at pa 165 degrees. The event is marked to 11 points in C3.
Speeds average through both fields to 645.5 Km/sec at PA 165 degrees.
Acceleration -19.74 m/sec^2.

SDO AIA, n/a

STEREO: BEACON data
COR2 A, 00:00-03:24 UT data gap. In progress at first frame, expanding
asymmetric halo over the South.
Preliminary time/height measure gives 643.7 km/sec velocity at LE.
EUVI A 195, 16:35-02:45 UT data gap. Loop arcade in progress from region
on the limb in the SW.
COR2 B, 00:00-04:54 UT data gap. In progress at first frame, expanding
burst over the Southeast and South hemispheres.
Preliminary time/height measure gives 903.3 km/sec velocity at LE.
EUVI B 195, 19:45-04:45 UT data gap. AR near central meridian in South
in progress with post loop arcade located [S25, E148].

The observation of this event is considered 'POOR'. This CME is determined BACKSIDED.
