NASA said the sun was seen 'smiling' in a newly released satellite image

NASA released a new satellite image of the sun, and it appears to have a happy expression on its face.

NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory is studying the changes in the Sun's radiation output.

"Say cheese!" the NASA Sun wrote in the caption of the picture. The sun was caught by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory.

The sun's dark patches are known as coronal holes and are regions where fast solar wind gushes out into space.

Satellite images show darker areas of the sun known as the coronal holes.

The regions on the sun where the magnetic field is open to interplanetary space send solar material speeding out in a high-speed stream of solar wind.

They show up as dark spots because of their lower temperatures and densities, which leads to an empty look.

It's not possible to see coronal holes with the naked eye or a home telescope.

Some of the responses were better than others. The picture is similar to the Teletubbies sun. It was turned into a pumpkin by another person.

According to Spaceweather.com, the holes could be a sign that there will be a storm on October 29 or 30.
