PASADENA, Calif. It wasnt a trick. But for space geeks, it sure was a treat.<\/p>\n
An image, taken by NASAs Solar Dynamics Observatory on Oct. 8, captured the sun getting into the Halloween spirit. <\/p>\n
Active regions on the sun combined to look something like a solar jack-o-lanterns face, said Joe Witte of NASAs Goddard Space Flight Center. <\/p>\n
Theres no cause for alarm its just the center of our solar systems spooky Halloween costume. <\/p>\n
The active regions in this image appear brighter because those are areas that emit more light and energy, Witte said. This image blends together two sets of extreme ultraviolet wavelengths. <\/p>\n
And thats what gives the sun that freaky feel. <\/p>\n
