NASA: Sun 'smiles' like a Halloween pumpkin

Recommended Posts

A mischievous-looking picture of the Sun "smiling" like a Halloween pumpkin has been tweeted by NASA.

The picture was snapped by the space agency's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) satellite and shows the sun in ultraviolet light.

NASA says the resemblance to a jack-o'-lantern is caused by "active regions" which appear brighter because they emit more light and energy.

It was originally taken in October 2014 but NASA is encouraging users to download it in high resolution to mark Halloween on Thursday.
