"Chandrayaan-2's Solar Flare Catalog Reveals Sun's Explosive Activity"

India's Chandrayaan-2 lunar orbiter has detected 1,400 slow-rising solar flares over three years, significantly increasing the slow-flare catalog. These mysterious flares, which are hotter than traditional solar flares, challenge the standard understanding of solar activity and may hold the key to solving the long-standing mystery of why the sun's corona is hotter than its surface. The research, published in Solar Physics, suggests that these slow-rising flares warrant further investigation to better understand their generation and impact on space weather.
