Halloween is definitely on its way after Nasa released this 'spooky' image of the Sun looking rather like a giant pumpkin.
The picture was taken on October 8, and uses two different images blended together to give this atmospheric jack-o-lantern effect.
It show a number of illuminated regions which are solar storms and flares on the surface of the star.
A spokesman for Nasa said: "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."
