๐๐ฎ๐ณOnward, SUNward: On Indiaโs mission to study the sun! Congratulations! ๐
๐Indiaโs first space mission dedicated to studying the sun, in the form of a spacecraft named Aditya-L1, was successfully launched!
๐Aditya-L1 will study the sun in multiple wavelengths. Even though it is the star closest to the Earth and has been and continues to be observed by a panoply of telescopes, the sun still holds many secrets. Some of them are simply waiting to be discovered.
๐In the next four or so months, Aditya-L1 will travel to the L1 Lagrange point, a point 1.5 million kilometres from the earth, where the spacecraft will have an unobstructed view of the star while it stays in a halo orbit around the point.
