NASA recently shared an image of our sun and it looks like a fiery jack-o’-lantern in space.
The eerie image, which was captured by NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory on October 8, 2014, shows the active regions of the sun.
According to NASA, these active regions appear more illuminated because those areas emit more light and energy and are markers of a complex set of magnetic fields suspended in the sun’s atmosphere (corona).
This image blends two sets of wavelengths at 171 and 193 angstroms usually colorized in gold and yellow tones to generate this Halloween-themed appearance.
