Aditya-L1 Mission Captures Solar Flare

 Aditya-L1 Mission Captures Solar Flare

India's Aditya-L1 mission has successfully captured its first-ever image of a solar flare 'kernel' in the lower solar atmosphere using the Solar Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope (SUIT) payload.

Solar Observation: SUIT observed an X6.3-class solar flare, one of the most intense solar eruptions, in the Near Ultraviolet (NUV) wavelength range (200-400 nm).
Solar Flares: Solar flares are enormous explosions in the Sun's atmosphere that release energy, light, and high-speed particles into space, often associated with coronal mass ejections (CMEs). These flares are categorized into A, B, C, M, and X classes, with each higher class representing a tenfold increase in energy. X-class flares are the most powerful.

Aditya-L1: India's first space-based solar observatory, Aditya-L1, is designed to study the Sun from the Lagrange Point 1 (L1) in a halo orbit. This mission marks ISRO's second astronomy observatory-class mission after AstroSat (2015).
