Stunning Pics of Halloween on The SUN
You're Too Early for Halloween! Stunning Images of a Jack-o-Lantern on the Surface of the 'Pumpkin Sun' Revealed by Nasa
Active regions on the sun combine to give it a spooky appearance
Image blends together two separate wavelengths usually seen in gold and yellow
Mailonline Science, 12 October 2014
It may be the spookiest the sun has ever looked.
Nasa has revealed these amazing images showing the 'pumpkin sun' just in time for Halloween.
The images were taken on October 8th, and blends together two separate wavelengths usually seen in gold and yellow to create the stunning effect.
This image is a blend of 171 and 193 angstrom light as captured by the Solar Dynamics Observatory. The two separate wavelengths usually seen in gold and yellow are combined to create the stunning effect.
'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,' Nasa said.
They show storms and flares on the surface.
Solar flares can damage satellites and have an enormous financial cost.
Astronauts are not in immediate danger because of the relatively low orbit of this manned mission.
They do have to be concerned about cumulative exposure during space walks.
