India's first space-based solar observatory, Aditya L1, is continuously studying the Sun but will miss the total solar eclipse today that will be visible over vast swaths of North America.
India s Aditya L1 satellite, dedicated to studying the Sun, will miss the total solar eclipse on April 8, 2024, as it is positioned to provide uninterrupted views of the Sun. In contrast, NASA is gearing up for the rare celestial event, flying special research planes and organizing various activities across the USA to witness the spectacle safely. The eclipse will darken skies as it passes over North America, with the path of totality tracking across several cities.
