Space: the final fright-ier! 👻
This "monster" nebula, called DR 6, sits in the constellation of Cygnus and houses 10 massive newborn stars – each 10-20 times bigger than our Sun.
The spooky "eyes" and "mouth" were carved by stellar winds and heat from the centre stars.

The skull-shaped asteroid 2015 TB145 flew safely past Earth on Halloween 2015.
Scientists determined this ghoulish-looking celestial object is likely a dead comet that lost its volatile materials after countless trips around the Sun. ☄️ ☀️

Houston, we have a pumpkin. 🎃
This spooky snap of our Sun was taken by NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory in October 2014, where its active regions combined to resemble a jack-o-lantern face.
These active regions emit more light and energy, which is why they appear brighter. ☀️
