Aditya-L1, India’s cutting-edge space observatory, has
embarked on its mission to unlock the mysteries of our planet’s energetic
particle environment. Equipped with advanced sensors, the STEPS instrument on
board is now actively measuring supra-thermal ions and electrons at distances
exceeding 50,000 kilometers from Earth.
This crucial scientific data is set to revolutionize our
understanding of the behavior of particles enveloping our planet, shedding
light on the complex dynamics of space around Earth. The figures captured by
ISRO, one of the key units of this remarkable mission, vividly illustrate the
ever-changing variations in the energetic particle environment.
Stay tuned as Aditya-L1 continues to unravel the secrets of
our cosmic neighbourhood, bringing us closer to comprehensive knowledge about
our planet’s place in the cosmos.
