The Aditya-L1 captured first-ever full disk images of the Sun on Friday. ISRO has released the images saying that the image include the "full-disk representations of the Sun in wavelengths ranging from 200 to 400 nm."
The photos-in near ultraviolet wavelengths "provide pioneering insights into the intricate details of the Sun's photosphere and chromosphere," ISRO posted on X.
SUIT payload captures images of Sun's photosphere and chromosphere in this wavelengths range using various scientific filters.
The SUIT payload was powered on November 20, 2023. Aditya-L1 is the first space-based observatory to study the Sun from a halo orbit around first earth Lagrangian point (L1), which is located roughly 1.5 million km from Earth. The spacecraft was launched in September 2 from Sriharikota.
