The deflection of CME, which would significant influence the CME's geoeffectiveness, is an important topic of space weather study. In this work, the deflection of 2008 December 12 CME during it propagated from the Sun to Earth will be detailed studied based on the combination of remote and in situ observations. First, the 3-dimensions parameters reconstructed by Graduated Cylindrical Shell (GCS) model based on the STEREO observations were used to study the propagation direction evolution of this CME during it propagated in near solar space. During this phase, this CME deflect from high latitude region to equator in meridian plane but propagated almost along the longitude of W7 in ecliptic plane. Further, whether this CME deflected during it propagated in interplanetary space has also been checked. Based on the remote observations, if this CME propagated radially during it propagated in interplanetary space, it may arrived the Earth and then hit the STEREO A rather than hit STEREO B. But, the in situ observations show contrary results that this CME arrived the Earth and hit the STEREO B but missed STEREO A. This result show direct evidence that this CME deflected to east in ecliptic plane during it propagated in interplanetary space. The kinematic deflection model developed by Wang et. al (2004) has been applied on this CME. The calculation results of this model correspond well with the observational results.
