CME Note: Bright loop CME first seen in the North by SOHO LASCO C2 beginning at 2025-05-12T23:48Z, as well as by SOHO LASCO C3, STEREO A COR2 and GOES CCOR-1 in later frames. The source of this event is two very large filament eruption, one seen on the Earth facing disk, and the other on the far side. The Earth facing filament has footpoints at approx. N20W50 and N50E60, where as the far sided filament appears to be just beyond the NW limb. These filaments are best seen in SDO AIA and GOES SUVI 304, along with dimming and field line opening seen in SDO AIA 171, 193, 211 and GOES SUVI 284. In coronagraphs, the on disk eruption appears to over shadow the far sided eruption, and they appear as one feature. Complex arrival signature characterized by a gradual increase in B total from 7 nT to eventually 22 nT, accompanied by rotation of two or more magnetic field components (with periods of negative Bz) and by a gradual increase of solar wind speeds from just over 400 km/s to initially 550 and eventually to over 700 km/s. Around 2025-05-17T04:10Z there is a short pileup followed by a decrease in ion density and a very fast rotation of magnetic field components.

Rules of the Road: CCMC requests that users notify the CCMC, CME
model/technique developers and submitting forecasters/researchers before
performing event and validation studies with data from the CME Arrival
Time Scoreboard. It is recommended that such studies be performed with
the knowledge and collaboration of developers and submitting
forecasters/researchers.
