PM Modi praises India's achievement as Aditya L1, the nation's first solar observatory, reaches its designated orbit at Lagrange Point 1. This strategic location allows continuous observation of the Sun without eclipses, offering crucial insights into solar activities and space weather. Launched in September 2023, Aditya L1 carries seven payloads to study the Sun's photosphere, chromosphere, and corona. The success marks a significant stride in India's space exploration, showcasing the dedication of scientists in executing complex missions. The observatory aims to unravel mysteries related to coronal heating, mass ejections, and solar dynamics.[image courtesy: ISRO InSight/X]
