Jack-o'-lantern sun

Just in time for Halloween, NASA shared an image of the sun with a jack-o’-lantern face.

NASA is getting in the celebration of Halloween.

The U.S. space agency shared a 2014 photo that showed what appears to be a jack-o’-lantern face on the sun. The image was seen in ultraviolet light by NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory satellite.

NASA explained the image this way:

“The active regions in this image appear brighter because those are areas that emit more light and energy. They are markers of an intense and complex set of magnetic fields hovering in the sun’s atmosphere, the corona. This image blends together two sets of extreme ultraviolet wavelengths…typically colorized in gold and yellow, to create a particularly Halloween-like appearance.”
