The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) took to Instagram to share pictures of the Moon, Earth, and a selfie clicked by Aditya L1, ISRO's solar mission destined to reach Sun-Earth Lagrange Point 1, with netizens.

As it voyaged towards this unique point of gravitational balance between the sun and Earth, Aditya L1’s pictures of our celestial neighbours left a lasting impression, particularly among Indians. The awe of seeing our planet from space is truly magical. Additionally, ISRO unveiled the first glimpse of the VELC and SUIT instruments, beautifully captured by the on-board camera on September 4.
