After the Blood Moon comes the Pumpkin Sun

It looks like the Moon isn't the only heavenly body giving the skies a creepy feel this month.

After last Wednesday's "Blood Moon" comes the "Pumpkin Sun" as captured by the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration last Wednesday, October 8.

Last Wednesday, the moon took on a blood-colored appearance during a total lunar eclipse.

"Active regions on the sun combined to look something like a jack-o-lantern’s face on Oct. 8, 2014. 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," NASA's Goodard Space Flight Center said.

The GSFC posted on its webpage four images of the "Pumpkin Sun" as taken by the Solar Dynamics Observatory.

Four of the images were in 335, 193, 171 and 304 angstrom extreme ultraviolet light.

The fifth was a blend of 171 and 193 angstrom light.

Tech site Mashable said the images were released October 10, noting the blended image was "NASA's version of an Instagram filter."

"On October 8, the day the Blood Moon haunted the skies, the sun looked eerily like a Jack O'Lantern," it said.  — Joel Locsin /LBG, GMA News
