Am I doing the math right?
150,000,000 km (distance from sun to earth)
1,000 km/sec (speed this thing is traveling)
2,500 minutes (time it takes to get here)
41.67 hours
1.74 days
This is a lot faster than the post said it would take.

it's the speed at which it got ejected. Supposition: since it's a coronal mass ejection, material is ejected. Sun produces a gravitational pull on said mass, therefore it will decelerate.
