Aditya-L1, the nation’s first space-based solar observation mission, has produced the “first significant result,” according to Indian scientists.
According to them, the new knowledge could help prevent communication satellites and power grids from being in danger the next time solar activity poses a threat to terrestrial and space infrastructure.
A CME, which is composed of charged particles, has the potential to weigh up to a trillion pounds and travel up to 3,000 kilometers [1,864 miles] per second. Prof. R Ramesh of the Indian Institute of Astrophysics, which created Velc, states that it can go in any direction, even Earth’s direction.
Imagine now that this enormous ball of fire is speeding toward Earth. The 150 million kilometers would be completed in roughly 15 hours at its maximum speed.
