Payload onboard Aditya-L1 captures full-disk images of the Sun

The Indian Space Research Organisation on Friday announced that the Solar Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope instrument on board the Aditya-L1 spacecraft has successfully captured the first full-disk images of the Sun. Aditya-L1 Mission: The SUIT payload captures full-disk images of the Sun in near ultraviolet wavelengths The images include the first-ever full-disk representations of the Sun in wavelengths ranging from 200 to 400 nm. They provide pioneering insights into the intricate details… pic.twitter.com/YBAYJ3YkUy — ISRO December 8, 2023 “SUIT captures images of the Sun’s photosphere and chromosphere in this wavelength range using various scientific filters,” ISRO said. These unprecedented images, taken using eleven different filters, include the first-ever full-disk representations of the Sun in wavelengths ranging from 200 to 400 nm, excluding Ca II h. The full disk images of the Sun in the Ca II h wavelength have been studied from other observatories,” the space agency said.
