You may be shocked to learn that space telescopes use many of the same fundamental concepts as conventional professional cameras use, despite their 10,000-fold higher cost. These principles allow space telescopes to take stunning pictures of distant celestial objects.

Consider the ongoing Aditya-L1 mission, which is tasked with examining the flaming hellscape that is our Sun’s outer atmosphere. The first photographs of the Sun in the ultraviolet wavelength band of 200–400 nanometers were just released by ISRO. One of the spacecraft’s seven instruments, the Solar Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope (SUIT), produced these pictures.

The space organization has released a video of the telescope’s shutter opening and closing in order to obtain the images in addition to the amazing gallery of pictures. Moreover, the procedure is quite similar to
