NASA, the European Space Agency (ESA) and some space observatories have released spooky, ghostly images of celestial objects as part of Halloween celebrations. The most recent one to share an eerie image is the European Southern Observatory (ESO). The Very Large Telescope (VLT), hosted at the ESO’s Paranal site in Chile, has captured a beautiful tapestry of colours showing the ‘ghost’ of a gigantic star. The ‘ghostly’ remains constitute the Vela supernova remnant. The image has the appearance of a spooky spider web, and also magical dragons and wispy trails of ghosts.
