BENGALURU: Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) and Indian Institute of Astrophysics (IIA) have decoded the impact of the solar storm on the Earth’s magnetic shield using the information obtained in the Aditya-L1 mission. Of the many solar storms that occur, one of them had impacted the Earth’s magnetic field in October 24. The study also revealed the severe effects occurred during the impact of the turbulent region of the solar storm. They pointed that this phenomenon occurs only during severe space weather events. During such strong space weather events, Earth’s magnetic shield can be significantly disturbed.
