India, Nov. 3 -- India's first space-based solar observatory, Aditya-L1 has helped scientists take a peek into the nature of expansion of a solar eruption or a coronal mass eruption (CME) and gain new insights into it. This could be important for space-weather studies and thereby affecting our satellites and communication networks.
Aditya L 1 satellite launched in September 2023 is now operational at the Sun-Earth L1 point, providing continuous observations of the Sun. It carries 7 payloads, of which the Visible Emission Line Coronagraph (VELC), the primary payload, is an internally occulted coronagraph designed to observe the solar corona simultaneously in various modes.
By combining data from the Visible Emission Line Coronagraph on Adi...
