Launched on September 2, 2023, the Aditya-L1 mission aims to observe the sun from the advantageous Lagrangian point L1.

ISRO's Aditya-L1 spacecraft's onboard instruments captured significant solar activity, including several X-class and M-class flares and associated coronal mass ejections, leading to major geomagnetic storms in May 2024.

This celestial spectacle, due to occur on April 8th, will see the Moon briefly cloak the Sun entirely, plunging parts of North America into darkness.
