Aditya-L1 Observes Uneven Expansion of Solar Eruption, Enhancing Space Weather Insights
India's Aditya-L1 solar observatory observed a solar eruption on August 5, 2024, revealing that coronal mass ejections (CMEs) expand unevenly and asymmetrically rather than as uniform bubbles. Using data from Aditya-L1's Visible Emission Line Coronagraph, NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory, and 3D modeling, scientists from the Indian Institute of Astrophysics found that different parts of the eruption move at varying speeds. This discovery could improve understanding and forecasting of solar storms that impact satellites and communication systems on Earth.
