NASA's Halloween 'treat': Image of Sun 'grinning' like jack-o-lantern pumpkin. Watch how it was captured

On the occasion of Halloween, USA's space agency NASA posted an image of the Sun which appeared to resemble a spooky, grinning pumpkin - the symbol of the festival.

The image of the Sun resembling a jack-o-lantern, which is a lantern carved from a pumpkin - was captured in 2014.

Taking to social media, the space agency revealed that the ‘ghoulish grin’ image had been captured by Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO).

NASA said the blistering appearance was the result of active regions on the sun emitting more light and energy than the surrounding areas.

The blazing orange spots resemble two eyes and a grin, making the Sun look like a jack-o-lantern. The remaining part of the star is dark in appearance distinguished by an orange outline.
