India Launches Its First Solar Mission to Study the Sun Following Successful Lunar Landing

India recently landed a spacecraft near the moon's south pole, becoming the fourth country to achieve the milestone.
The nation has now launched its first ever solar mission, Aditya-L1, to study the sun's atmosphere.
The spacecraft will travel to the Lagrange point between the Earth and sun to observe solar winds, flares, and other activity.
The mission aims to better predict space weather events that can disrupt satellites, communications, and power grids on Earth.
Aditya-L1's observations could also further the understanding of the sun's influence on Earth's climate.
