This purple sun image is similar to (NB2) showing continuum emission in the sunspots in the active regions where the surrounding plages are also visible. The image displays a 276 nm narrow band.

This image of the sun has a blue plage region spreading up to 300 nm. Containing sunspots show umbra (dark sunspots) and penumbra (less dark region around the sunspot).

The broadband 320–360 nm emission in this solar image represents a wide range of depth in the solar atmosphere through UV continuum emission. Both the disk and the limb sunspots are clearly visible.

Aditya-L1 is India’s first space-based mission that is dedicated to studying the Sun as ISRO scientists wanted to understand the Sun’s behavior and the activities happening in it’s environment.
