ISRO on Monday announced that two instruments aboard ndia's first sol𝔉ar mission, the Aditya-L1 spacecraft hav🉐e captured the recent solar 'fury' or storm.
The spacecraft reached the Lagrangian point (L1) on Januaryꦑ 6 this year, 127 days after its launch on September 2nd, 2023.
L1 is abꦚout 1.5 million kilometers away from Earth and allows the spacecraft to have a continuous view of t༺he Sun.
ISRꦚO released the Sun images acquired by the SUIT payload on ��May 17, and also shared details of the observations made by Visible Emission Line Coronagraph.
ISRO said in a statement said, the Solar Ultra Violet Imaging Telescope (SUIT) and the Visible Emission ꧒Line Coronagraph (VELC) have captured the dynamic activities of the Sun during May 2024.
"Several X-class and M-class flare🌟s, associated with Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs), leading to significant geomagnetic storms, were recorded," it said.
They also added t🤪hat the Active region AR13664 on the Sun, during its passage during the week of May 8-15, erupted several X-class and M-class flares, which were associated with CMEs during May 8 and 9.
It is said that the🐬se produced a major geomagnetic storm on Maꦗy 11.
