Aditya-L1 Decodes Solar Storm Impact on Earth's Magnetic Field

• ISRO's Aditya-L1 mission provided new insights into how solar storms affect Earth’s magnetic shield.
• A study published in the Astrophysical Journal analyzed a major space weather event from October 2024 using Aditya-L1 data.
• Solar plasma eruptions, known as space weather, can impact satellites, communication, navigation, and power grids.
• The turbulent region of a solar storm can compress Earth's magnetic field, exposing geostationary satellites to harsh conditions.
• Findings emphasize the need for close monitoring of solar activity and real-time space weather assessments to protect space assets.

Why It Matters: Aditya-L1 reveals critical insights into solar storm effects on Earth's magnetic field and space assets.
