Aditya L1: Launch date, cost, mission objectives and much more

[ad_1] India has achieved a historical milestone in the field of space and technology with the successful landing of Chandrayaan- 3 lander and rover on the South Pole of the Moon. Now, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), has moved on to its next space adventure. This time ISRO is not targeting the Moon, but the Sun. ISRO is gearing up to launch its first-ever space-based solar observatory spacecraft, the Aditya L1 mission. This ambitious endeavor aims to shed light on various aspects of solar activities and their effects on space weather, providing invaluable insights into the behavior of our Sun. Check out below Aditya L1 launch date, cost, and much more.Aditya L-1 Launch dateIndia's first-ever Solar mission, Aditya L1, is set to take off on September 2, 2023. The success of...

NASA can now predict solar flares!

[ad_1] Solar flares can be very dangerous for the power grid, satellites, even mobile phones. How dangerous a flare can be depends on how powerful it is. If a warning is received by NASA and other space agencies on time, the impact on Earth and humanity can be lessened. Now, NASA has got a solution for the same. Yes, NASA has said that it can predict Solar Flares. Scientists can now predict when and where the Sun's next flare might explode. The crucial role is that of Sun "Flashes".Notably, Solar flares are powerful bursts of energy. As per NASA, solar flares are our solar system's largest explosive events and are seen as bright areas on the sun and they can last from minutes to hours. Flares and solar eruptions can impact radio communications, electric power grids, navigation signals,...

Breakthrough! Now, solar flares can be predicted, says NASA

[ad_1] The volatile Sun has been sparking solar storms on Earth on a regular basis courtesy solar flares, CME, solar wind and more. If powerful enough, these can be very dangerous for the power grid, satellites, even mobile phones.

Sun just blasted a monstrous solar flare at Earth! NASA reveals image

[ad_1] NASA has informed that the Sun emitted a strong solar flare on January 5. An image has also been captured of the event. Sun is the largest object in our solar system. It is a hot glowing ball of hydrogen and helium at the center of the solar system. It is a source of energy without which life could not exist on Earth. There are several solar activities also associated with the huge fire ball. The solar activities include solar flares, coronal mass ejection, high-speed solar wind, and solar energetic particles. Recently, NASA has informed that the Sun emitted a strong solar flare, peaking at 7:57 p.m. EDT on January 5, 2023. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory, which watches the Sun constantly, even captured an image of the event. This flare is classified as an X1.2 fla...
