Why in News?
Researchers have uncovered an unexpected finding after carefully observing the ongoing changes in the energy status of the solar eruption's core that took place on July 20, 2017.
Despite the eruption expelling highly magnetized plasma from the solar corona into space, the core has maintained a consistently stable temperature. This finding holds promise for enhancing our comprehension of the potential impact of such eruptions on Earth's communication systems.

What is India’s Solar Mission?
The Visible Emission Line Coronagraph (VELC) onboard Aditya-L1, India's first solar mission, will perform both spectroscopy and imaging of CMEs in the inner corona and provide new insights into the evolution of CME thermodynamic properties in the inner corona.
