NASA shares image of the sun resembling a jack-o’-lantern

October 28, 2019 By Fox Wilmington

NASA on Sunday got into the Halloween spirit and posted an image of the sun that resembled a flaming jack-o’-lantern.

NASA CHIEF SAYS PLUTO SHOULD BE A PLANET

The space agency said the photo was taken on Oct. 8, 2014 by its Solar Dynamics Observatory satellite. The flares that are visible are ultraviolet light from its active regions.

NASA took a photo of the sun in 2014.

“The active regions in this image appear brighter because those are areas that emit more light and energy,” the statement read. “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.”
