Data Calendar now shows solar events

Submitted by kolinski on November 19, 2014 - 1:57pm

The MLSO Data calendar is now color-coded to show days on which CME's were observed by one or more MLSO instruments. When a day on which any event was observed is clicked, the resulting data summary page will show a list of those events with details about each. Also, the calendar display has been altered to make it easier to read for those with color-blindness. We hope you enjoy the new features!
