Just in time for Halloween, a super cool image of the sun looking like a spooky pumpkin! If you’re on Twitter, give NASA a follow. They post a lot of cool stuff!

No, that’s not a fiery jack-o’-lantern 🔥🎃. It’s the Sun!

Our @NASASun Solar Dynamics Observatory captured this ultraviolet image in 2014, showing active regions on our home star. #Halloween19

Jason Wellwood

Originally from southern Ontario, Jason found his way here and fell in love with the community and music scene of Thunder Bay over twenty years ago. In between various stints on radio, television and writing, Jason is a dad, a partner and (some would consider) a zoo keeper (seriously, he has a LOT of pets).
