太阳也来过万圣节啦

万圣节快乐：NASA发布了一张看起来像南瓜灯的太阳照

If you thought supermoons and blood moons were scary, wait until you see what the sun is capable of.

如果你认为超级月亮和血月很可怕，那么是时候来看看太阳的能力了。

NASA shared a photo on Monday (local time) of the sun looking like a flaming jack-o'-lantern’s face.

美国国家航空航天局在当地时间周一分享了一张照片，照片中太阳看起来像一个燃烧的南瓜灯。

The image was taken on October 8, 2014 by NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory, who watch the sun at all times from its orbit in space.

这张照片拍摄于2014年10月8日，由美国国家航空航天局的太阳动力学观测站拍摄，该观测站一直在太空轨道上观测太阳。

The face appears because those active regions of the sun emit more light and energy.

这张脸之所以出现，是因为太阳的那些活跃区域发出更多的光和能量。

"They are markers of an intense and complex set of magnetic fields hovering in the sun’s atmosphere, the corona," NASA said.

美国航天局说：“它们是一组强烈而复杂的磁场的标志，这些磁场盘旋在太阳的大气层——也就是日冕中。”

"This image blends together two sets of extreme ultraviolet wavelengths at 171 and 193 Ångströms, typically colorized in gold and yellow, to create a particularly Halloween-like appearance."

“这张照片融合了两组极端紫外线波长，分别为171和193_ngstr_ms，典型的颜色是金色和黄色，营造出一种万圣节般的特殊外观。”
