Solar fury has been captured by ISRO’s Aditya-L1 spacecraft’s two onboard remote sensing instruments.
The Solar Ultra Violet Imaging Telescope (SUIT) and the Visible Emission Line Coronagraph (VELC) have captured the dynamic activities of the Sun in May.
These instruments recorded X-class and M-class flares associated with Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs).
These flares produced a major geomagnetic storm on May 11.
ISRO released the Sun images acquired by the SUIT payload on May 17.
Large solar flares may originate in these active regions due to changes in magnetic field.
India’s maiden solar mission, Aditya-L1, reached the Lagrangian point (L1) on January 6, 2024. This mission was launched in September 2023.
