Indian solar mission's new findings throw light on enduring Sun mysteries
And how does the corona continue to remain so hot despite frequent eruptions during which it loses huge amounts of energy?Astrophysicists in India now say the latest findings from Aditya-L1, the country's first solar observation mission in space, have provided them some vital clues to unlocking those mysteries. Travel outwards to the surface or the photosphere - the part that we see from the Earth - it's about 5,500C. The CMEs cause beautiful auroras, and they can also affect life on Earth by causing geomagnetic storms that can knock down power grids and affect weather and communication satellites.In normal or low-activity times, the Sun launches two to three CMEs a day.
