It
has been a pretty good day! Since I
finished all the calculations for the September 2 and 3 CMEs, I spent today
looking for another one. All morning I
searched, but every time I found data from the SOHO satellite, I couldn't find
any from the STEREO-A or B satellite.
This was pretty frustrating. Finally, at around three in the
afternoon, I found a really awesome CME that occurred on August 31, 2012. I was able to find data for it
from all three satellites as well!! I
took the measurements, converted them from pixels to kilometers, and then I
even had time to make three Height vs. Time graphs! Tomorrow, I am going to calculate the speed of
this CME, and how long it took to reach Earth!
