Aditya-L1 Reveals Solar Storm Effects on Earth's Magnetic Field

ISRO's Aditya-L1 mission has discovered how powerful solar storms affect Earth's magnetic shield.

In a study published in December 2025, scientists analyzed a major solar storm that hit Earth in October 2024.

They found that the storm's turbulent region compressed Earth's magnetic field, bringing it closer to Earth and exposing some satellites to harsh conditions.

The storm also caused strong currents in the auroral regions, which could heat the upper atmosphere.

This study shows how important it is to monitor solar activity to protect our satellites and other important infrastructure.
