ISRO Video Reveals Aditya L1's SUIT Capturing the Sun in Space

India's Aditya-L1 mission, dedicated to studying the Sun, has successfully captured full-disk images of the star in near ultraviolet wavelengths using the Solar Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope (SUIT) instrument. Developed by the Inter-University Centre for Astronomy and Astrophysics (IUCAA) in collaboration with ISRO, SUIT allows for unprecedented observations of the Sun's lower and middle layers without atmospheric interference. The mission aims to enhance our understanding of the Sun's dynamics and its influence on space weather phenomena, providing insights into the effects of solar radiation on Earth's climate.

Solar Orbiter's Camera Hack Reveals Hidden Depths of the Sun's Atmosphere

Scientists have successfully used a "hack" to modify Solar Orbiter's EUI camera, allowing it to capture high-resolution images of the Sun's atmosphere at extreme ultraviolet wavelengths. By adding a small protruding "thumb" to the camera's safety door, the modified instrument can now see deeper into the Sun's corona, revealing previously unexplored regions. This new mode of operation, known as the occulter mode, has the potential to influence future solar instruments for upcoming missions and offers the opportunity to study the changing magnetic structures and physics in this little-explored region.
