India has successfully launched its first observation mission to the Sun.

It comes just days after the country made history by landing near the Moon's south pole.

Aditya-L1 will be 1.5 million km (93 million miles) from the Earth, which is just 1% of the distance between the Earth and the Sun.

India's space agency said it will take four months to travel that far.

3,000 steel balls fall through 12 levels of branching paths and always end up matching the distribution of the normal distribution curve. Each ball has a 50/50 chance of following each branch, so that the balls are distributed below according to a mathematical binomial distribution.
