this is halloween and POT he knows. For the same reason, the space agency shared a “scary” image Sun “smiles”.

The image was taken by the space agency’s Solar Dynamics Observatory and has already generated a lot of comments on social media due to its unique shape.

The Science of the “Smiling” Sun

According to own POTdark areas Sun which resemble eyes and nose are actually coronal openings. These regions are visible in ultraviolet light and are where the solar wind rushes into space.

Because of this, this “smile” is certainly dangerous for the Earth, as it can send a geomagnetic storm to the planet, which can disrupt the global communications network.

Solar Dynamics Observatory POT take pictures Sun every 12 seconds at 10 different UV wavelengths. The data is then processed by computers at the Space Weather Prediction Center, which determine the temperature, velocity, and density of solar particles.

hand of the universe

Not happy with it POT He also shared a new image of the Pillars of Creation, but with a new twist.

The capture was made by the MIRI mid-infrared instrument on the James Webb telescope. Unlike the first image taken by the telescope, this image creates a “gloomier, more disturbing and very dusty” environment.

This area is known as the “Pillars of Creation” because it is made up of a large number of stars that are slowly but constantly forming.
