First SEP event observations

 This image shows the sequence of events leading up to the first SEP event observed by MAVEN at Mars. The top panel shows the distance between MAVEN and Mars as a function of time. The bottom panel shows Energetic Ion Flux as a function of particle energy (vertical axis) and time (horizontal axis). (Courtesy Davin Larson)
