I had to research solar flares for one of my Astronomy classes at my community college, it was fun using your site to see actual data that is collected by actual satellites to help track solar flares! MY question is, is that info that visitors submit about images that need to be analyzed, is that actually being used and recorded somewhere? if so, that is AWESOME! talk about a great way to get more people interested in the subjects of astronomy while letting them get their hands on some of the actual data they would be seeing, while getting that data analyzed!
