The sun just became a Nintendo character! This ultraviolet image from NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory shows coronal holes creating what looks suspiciously like Mario's mustached face. Those dark patches aren't just cosmic coincidences - they're regions where the sun's magnetic field opens up, spewing high-speed solar wind into space. Next thing you know, our star will be jumping on Goombas and collecting cosmic coins. Just hope it doesn't send a Koopa shell of charged particles our way - our power grids aren't designed with 1-UP mushrooms.
