NASA just captured an eerie jack-o'-lantern face on the Sun, glowing brightly with dark coronal holes and active regions. But don’t be fooled—it’s not a Halloween decoration, it's a sign of serious solar activity that could trigger geomagnetic storms.

October 28, 2025, saw the Sun displaying a grin that was more than just a spooky coincidence. The dark "mouth" is a coronal hole, releasing solar winds that may spark auroras visible even outside polar latitudes. This isn’t just cosmic fun—it’s a chance for some incredible light shows!

Those Halloween lights could be more than just spooky decorations—solar winds from the Sun’s grin might just trigger auroras across the Northern Hemisphere. From Scotland to parts of the US, it’s not a ghostly trick, but a real treat for sky watchers.
Could the Sun be staging a Halloween surprise? Solar wind from a massive coronal hole is racing towards Earth, and forecasters predict geomagnetic storms. The result? A dazzling aurora show and the potential for some eerie disruptions in tech across the globe.
This isn’t the first time the Sun’s had a Halloween face. In 2014, it grinned eerily in a similar way, showing recurring solar behavior. Could this portend bigger storms, like the notorious 2003 Halloween solar eruptions? The answer is in the sky—literally.
Solar eruptions, including one from October 27, are now streaming solar wind at Earth. What does this mean for us? Expect geomagnetic storms and, if the Sun gets even more active, northern lights dancing across the night sky. Is it a cosmic treat or a threat?
Imagine seeing auroras from your backyard this Halloween. Due to the Sun’s spooky grin, solar winds are on their way, pushing the Northern Lights farther south than usual. From Scotland to parts of the northern US, it’s going to be one glowing night.
The Sun's eerie grin could give sky-watchers an unforgettable show. Solar wind from its coronal hole is pushing toward Earth, with NOAA predicting geomagnetic storms that might light up the night sky with auroras tonight. Don’t miss it!
The Halloween Sun isn’t just playing tricks; it’s setting the stage for spectacular light shows. According to NOAA, solar activity could trigger minor to moderate geomagnetic storms between October 28 and 29. The skies are about to get electrifying!
