Aditya-L1 mission: ISRO fixes course of spacecraft rocketing towards the Sun

[ad_1] India's first solar space observatory, Aditya-L1, is now on its way to the Sun-Earth Lagrange Point-1 (L1), which is about 1.5 million kilometers away from Earth. Aditya-L1 mission has gone off perfectly and it is expected to make yet another amazing achievement for India and ISRO scientists. But before reaching its destination, ISRO had to make a small adjustment in the path of the Aditya-L1 mission spacecraft.Recently, Aditya-L1 mission spacecraft performed a Trajectory Correction Maneuver (TCM) on October 6. This maneuver was necessary to make sure Aditya-L1 stay on the right course after a previous operation called Trans-Lagrangian Point-1 Insertion (TL1I), which happened on September 19, 2023. We are now on WhatsApp. Click to join. Aditya-L1 mission: Journey So FarThe TCM wa...

NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day 16 May 2023: Sun’s Corona visible during solar eclipse

[ad_1] NASA publishes its Astronomy Picture of Day on a daily basis, featuring stunning photographs of celestial bodies captured by astrophotographers from around the world, and they always leave us mesmerized. At the center of our solar system is the Sun, a hot glowing ball of hydrogen and helium. It is about 150 million kilometers away from Earth and is the largest object in our solar system, big enough to fit nearly 1.3 million Earths in it. According to NASA, the Sun is about 4.5 billion years old and it is one of the main reasons why everything in our solar system stays in its orbit.Today's NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day is a snapshot of the Sun's Corona visible during a total solar eclipse. Temperatures in the Sun's Corona can reach up to 2 million degrees and it is also the re...

Miracle! Telescope captures FIRST-EVER special image of mysterious Sun part

[ad_1] The difficulty of capturing the Sun's lower atmosphere, the chromosphere, is massive. However, it has now been done by the world’s largest solar telescope. Have a look here. We have seen several images and short clips shared by NASA revealing great details of the Sun. But this time, the Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope (DKIST) in Hawai'i has captured the first-ever detailed image of the sun's chromosphere, which is a layer of the Sun's atmosphere just above its surface. The image taken by the telescope on June 3, 2022, shows a region 82,500 kilometres across at a resolution of 18 km.What is chromosphere? Similar to the outermost region of the sun's atmosphere named corona, the chromosphere is generally clouded by the s...
