India's Aditya-L1 Mission achieves milestone with first-ever full-disk images of the Sun

In a historic achievement, India's Aditya-L1 mission has captured the first-ever full-disk images of the Sun in near-ultraviolet wavelengths. The images, taken by the Solar Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope (SUIT) instrument aboard the Aditya-L1 spacecraft, provide groundbreaking insights into the intricate details of the Sun's photosphere and chromosphere.

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) revealed that the SUIT instrument captured these images in the 200-400 nm wavelength range, showcasing features such as sunspots, plage, and quiet Sun regions. These observations are expected to aid scientists in studying the dynamic coupling of the magnetized solar atmosphere and understanding the impact of solar radiation on Earth's climate.
