Tony, CMEs are matter (plasma), not light.

OK guys, a few facts here:
1) EM radiation (visible light, IR, UV, X/Gamma rays) from
the Sun travel at the speed of light at c = 186,000 miles/sec.,
2) CME are plasma masses which move much slower
at most 1000 miles/sec. which is slower than c, and
3) 48 hours would correspond
