Pumpkin Sun - 171 angstrom - SDO - NASA - 2014-10-08 - magnification via AI

On 8 October 2014, the Sun's active regions combined to resemble the face of a pumpkin for Halloween. The active regions appear brighter because they 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. This image is in the 171 angstrom wavelength. The image has been magnified using our artificial intelligence model. It can be downloaded at a resolution of 625 million pixels (25000x25000 pixels).
