The Sun has been making some anxious faces lately. The Sun looks like a man's face which was captured in photos over the past few days by Nasa's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO). The Sun's "eyes" are actually a eruptions of superheated solar plasma and the Sun "mouth" is a coronal hole which is a dark region where the Sun's magnetic field lies open to interplanetary space. The phenomenon called pareidolia explains why people may see a face in the Sun. Nasa captured this photo on July 14.
