India's Aditya L1 Mission Reaches Solar System's Center
TL;DR
India's Aditya-L1 mission, aimed at observing the Sun's outermost layers, has crossed a significant milestone in its journey towards the center of the solar system, escaping the sphere of Earth's influence. The spacecraft, named after the Hindu Sun deity, has traveled over half of its total distance and will now enter a stable halo orbit around the Sun. This marks the second time that the Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro) has sent a spacecraft beyond Earth's sphere of influence, following the Mars Orbiter Mission.
