The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has released pictures of the Sun captured by the Solar Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope (SUIT) instrument aboard Aditya L1.
It was launched on September 2 by the ISRO, Aditya L1 is Bharat’s first space based observatory to study the Sun.
The suits of Aditya L1 payloads are expected to provide most important informations to understand the problem of coronal heating, coronal mass ejection, pre-flare and flare activities and their characteristics, dynamics of space weather, propagation of particle and fields.

Earlier this week, ISRO’s Aditya L1 solar mission successfully recorded the impact of the solar storm, marking a milestone in space observation and research.
The space agency said, ‘The ASPEX payload on-board Aditya-L1 is showing high speed solar wind, high temperature solar wind plasma and energetic ion flux till now. Solar wind Ion Spectrometer- SWIS ( a module part of the payload) has captured the enhancement of the alpha particle and proton flux of the solar wind as a signature of this solar eruptive event’.
The space agency added, ‘The X-ray payloads on-board Aditya-L1 have observed the multiple X- and M-class flares from these regions during the last few days while the in-situ magnometer payload has also observed the events as it passed by the L1 point’.
