After the moon, India sets sights on studying the sun with rocket mission

Following up on the success of India's moon landing with the Chandrayaan-3, the country's space agency was set to launch a rocket on Saturday to study the sun. India's first space-based solar probe aims to study solar winds, which can cause disturbance on earth commonly seen as auroras. Named after the Hindi word for the sun, the Aditya-L1 is set to blast off at 11:50 a.m. (0620 GMT).
