NEW DELHI — For Aditya-L1, India's first solar observation mission in space, the year 2026 is expected to be like no other.It's the first time the observatory – which was placed in orbit last year — will be able to watch the Sun when it reaches its maximum activity cycle.According to Nasa, it comes roughly every 11 years when the Sun's magnetic poles flip — the Earth equivalent would be the North and South poles swapping positions.It's a time of great turbulence. It sees the Sun transition from calm to stormy and is marked by a huge increase in the number of solar storms and coronal mass ejections (CMEs) — massive bubbles of fire that blow out of the Sun's outermost layer called corona.Made up of charged particles, a CME can weigh up to a trillion...
