NASA shares captured photo of Sun 'smiling'

NASA shared on social media an image of the "smile" of the Sun, which could actually bring solar storms along with it.

The Solar Dynamics Observatory, affiliated with the US Space and Aviation Administration (NASA), captured an image resembling a 'smile' on the surface of the sun.

The post shared by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory said that "Today, NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory caught the Sun 'smiling.'"

"Seen in ultraviolet light, these dark patches on the Sun are known as coronal holes and are regions where fast solar wind gushes out into space."

The dark spots that make up the smiling figure are the coronal holes that allow the solar wind to escape from the Sun.

The storm is expected to be relatively small, although forecasts indicate that this wind could trigger a solar storm on Earth.
