When you smile the world will smile with you. The world is bathed in the sun's light.

The new image of our closest star seems to be smiling down upon us with a happy chibi grin. There are three dark spots in the sun's atmosphere that look like a pair of button eyes and a smile.

Maybe the sun heard something good.

The sun's corona is where solar wind gushes into space. You shouldn't try to see them with your home telescope because they are hard to see with the naked eye.

Unlike sunspots, which are dark blotches of chaotic magnetic activity that occur down on the sun's surface, coronal holes are cooler. The sun's constant wind of charged particles can be seen from these portals.

Say cheese! 📸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. pic.twitter.com/hVRXaN7Z31October 26, 2022

You can see more.

The sun's coronal holes give us a clear view of the solar wind blowing towards Earth. According to Spaceweather.com, the electric wind is expected to crash into Earth's magnetic field on Saturday or Sunday.

Small power grid fluctuations can be caused by the G1 class of storms. More skywatchers will have a chance to see the sun's particles dance through our planet's atmosphere because of the storms. Isn't that a positive thing to think about?

Over the past few years, there have been many cases of the human tendency to see faces in objects. This is a golden age of putting a friendly face on the cold, callous, plasma-spewing universe.
