TL;DR Summary

India's Aditya-L1 solar observation mission, launched by ISRO in September, has successfully entered the sun's orbit after a four-month journey. Positioned at Lagrange Point 1, the mission aims to study the sun's corona and its effects on space weather, which is crucial for understanding the impact on satellites, including those in crowded low Earth orbit. This achievement marks another milestone for India's space exploration, following their Chandrayaan-3 lunar mission, and distinguishes ISRO as the first Asian space agency to place a mission in orbit around the sun.
