2 main payloads on Aditya-L1 send key data from solar flare event

Two key scientific instruments aboard India's first dedicated solar space observatory mission, Aditya-L1, have recorded images and data of significant solar activity. This occurred during a period of heightened eruptions on the Sun in May 2024. The active region 'AR13664' released a series of potent X-class and M-class solar flares between May 8 and 15. These were accompanied by coronal mass ejections (CMEs) on May 8 and 9.
