## Summary:

S-type CME detected by STEREO A / SOHO. 

Start time of the event: 2016-04-06T16:24Z.

Estimated speed: ~464 km/s.

Estimated opening half-angle: 31 deg.

Direction (lon./lat.): 14/23 in Heliocentric Earth Equatorial coordinates (see [1] in Notes).

Activity ID: 2016-04-06T16:24:00-CME-001

Based on preliminary heliospheric modeling carried out at NASA GSFC Space Weather Research Center, it is estimated that this CME may affect Mars (glancing blow).  The leading edge or flank of the CME will reach Mars around 2016-04-12T00:00Z (plus minus 7 hours). 

The simulation also indicates that the CME may have a slight chance of glancing blow at NASA missions near Earth. Simulations indicate that the flank of the CME will reach NASA missions near Earth at about 2016-04-09T18:00Z (plus minus 7 hours).

CCMC 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.

If you are looking for the official U.S. Government forecast for space weather, please go to NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center (https://swpc.noaa.gov). This "Experimental Research Information" consists of preliminary NASA research products and should be interpreted and used accordingly.
