Solar Update - LASCO C2 & LASCO C3 - March 3 - 10, 2010 (video)

Coronal mass ejections (CMEs):
March 5 and 7: No obvious Earth directed CMEs were observed in LASCO images.

March 6: A filament eruption near S755 at 05:30 UTC was the origin of a CME observed off of most of the east limb. There's a possibility that the outer edges of the CME could reach Earth on March 9 and cause a minor disturbance.

There was, however, no indication as to where the filament eruption information originated. Unfortunately, there are no readily available H-alpha images which cover the the date and time of interest.
