ISRO has added another great milestone in its space exploration journey. They have decided to inject solar observatory, Aditya-L1, at Lagrange point – L1 to observe Sun even more closely. ISRO launched this mission few months post Chandrayaan-3 success. The observatory will work to find more secrets about the core of Sun, that we do not know yet.
Also, the observatory will look closely at solar flares and examine the outer corona. By understanding deeply about Sun, scientists look to predict better about the solar flares that are emitted towards Earth. The observatory inserted in Halo-Orbit around Sun-Earth L1. From this Lagrange point, Observatory can be more accurate with its observations and precise about CMEs.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi shared his happiness for the mission success on social media platform, X(Formerly Twitter). He congratulated ISRO scientists for such a landmark achievement.
