The sun's Halloween spirit
-
With Halloween fast approaching, it looks like even the sun is getting into the spirit. Active regions on the sun combined to look something like a jack-o-lantern’s face and the images were captured by the Solar Dynamics Observatory.
The active regions appear brighter because those are areas that emit more light and energy — 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 wavelengths at 171 and 193 Angstroms, typically colorised in gold and yellow, to create a particularly Halloween-like appearance. (NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center) On October 8, 2014 active regions on the sun gave it the appearance of a jack-o'-lantern. This image is a blend of 171 and 193 angstrom light as captured by the Solar Dynamics Observatory.
