TL;DR Summary

India's space agency, ISRO, is set to launch its first solar observatory, Aditya-L1, on September 2. The spacecraft will study the sun's atmosphere, surface, magnetic fields, and particles, with a particular focus on the coronal heating problem. Aditya-L1 will investigate why the sun's outer atmosphere, the corona, is much hotter than its surface. The mission will also examine solar flares, coronal mass ejections (CMEs), and their impact on Earth's space weather. By studying these phenomena, Aditya-L1 aims to improve our understanding of the sun and its effects on our planet.
