India's Aditya-L1 Mission, operated by ISRO, has achieved a milestone by capturing the first-ever full-disk images of the Sun in near ultraviolet wavelengths. The Solar Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope (SUIT) onboard the spacecraft revealed features like sunspots, plage, and quiet Sun regions. The images, taken in the 200-400 nm wavelength range, provide groundbreaking insights into the Sun's photosphere and chromosphere. The SUIT observations aim to study the dynamic coupling of the magnetized solar atmosphere, contributing to a better understanding of the effects of solar radiation on Earth's climate. Aditya-L1, launched on September 2, is India's first space-based observatory for solar studies.
