India's Aditya-L1 and Europe's Proba-3 jointly analyze solar coronal mass ejections
Scientists used simultaneous observations from India's Aditya-L1 and ESA's Proba-3 to study coronal mass ejections from September 2025. The analysis measured mass, density, temperature (~2 million °C), and energy partitioning between thermal, kinetic, and magnetic components in the inner corona.
TLDR
The joint analysis demonstrates breakthrough capabilities in solar physics and space weather forecasting. CMEs can disrupt satellites, power grids, and communications on Earth. The collaboration showcases precision formation-flying technology and cross-mission data synergy, with findings published in Astronomy & Astrophysics. The international partnership highlights space exploration as collaboration rather than competition, and the data advances understanding of solar dynamics during ongoing solar activity cycles.
