Comment Section

I believe this is a complex event, caused by a merger between a partial halo CME on October 21 and the shock wave of a CME at the North Eastern Limb on the 22nd. I believe the halo CME was propagating towards the Earth, then the shock wave caught the CME front and accelerated it faster.(Hess)
