India’s first solar mission Aditya-L1 generates Doppler velocity images of the solar corona
ISRO's Aditya-L1 solar mission has successfully generated Doppler velocity images of the solar corona using its VELC payload. These images will help scientists track coronal mass ejections and improve space weather forecasting.
Why it matters
Advancements in solar observation are critical for protecting Earth's satellite infrastructure and power grids from solar storm disruptions.
