It seems that our star, the Sun, sometimes really smiles at us. Of course, this term is a bit of an exaggeration, but the image released by NASA is really the kind that shows the Sun smiling at us.
The image captured by NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory last Wednesday makes the Sun look like it has 2 dark eyes, a spinning round nose, and a happy little smile.

Of course, there is a scientific explanation behind the “smile” of the Sun. While sharing this frame, “NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory caught the sun ‘smiling’ today,” NASA explains the event as, “These dark spots on the sun seen in ultraviolet light are known as coronal holes and are the regions where the fast solar wind gushes into space.”
Of course, after NASA published this photo, Twitter users also took up the issue and shared the “joking” tweets below.
