The image was shared on NASA Sun & Space Twitter account with an explanatory caption. “As you get into the sinister spirit for #Halloween, look to the cosmos for creepy celestial displays. In 2014, active regions on the Sun traced out an eerie jack-o’-lantern’s face, seen in ultraviolet light by our Sun-watching satellite,” they wrote. The post is complete with a blog link which explains the event in details.
Since being shared, the post has gathered close to 1,400 likes - and the numbers are only increasing. Additionally, it has also amassed tons of comments from people. While some were simply mesmerised by the share, others shared spooky celestial images of their own.
