India's Aditya-L1 reveals hidden 3rd dimension of Solar eruption : ISRO

Chennai, Nov 3 (UNI) Scientists at the Indian Institute of Astrophysics (IIA), Bengaluru have used India's first space-based solar observatory, Aditya-L1--the first sun exploratory mission--to gain new insights into how a solar eruption expands near the Sun. Aditya-L1 was launched by PSLV-C57 from the SHAR Range on September 2, 2023 and it was injected in a highly eccentric Earth bound orbit from where it reached the L1 point. By observing Sun continuously from the Sun-Earth Lagrange Point 1 (L1), Aditya-L1 provides an uninterrupted view of solar activity across multiple wavelengths. The IIA team combined spectroscopic observations from the Visible Emission…
