India's Aditya-L1 mission has captured the first-ever image of a solar flare 'kernel' in the lower solar atmosphere. This observation was made by the Solar Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope (SUIT) on February 22, 2025. The image shows brightening in the Near Ultra Violet wavelength range, providing new insights into solar flares. This marks a significant advancement in understanding the Sun's explosive activity and its effects on Earth. The findings confirm a link between flare energy and temperature changes in the solar corona. This supports existing theories and offers new data to enhance the understanding of solar physics.
