Spooky scenes from out of this world

NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center
Even the sun is getting into the Halloween spirit!  Back on the 8th of October, the sun showed its more 'spooky' side with brighter spots that look like a grinning pumpkin.  NASA says the active regions of the sun appear brighter because those are the areas that emit more light and energy.  They indicate an intense and complex set of magnetic fields around the sun's atmosphere, known as the corona.
