Skull shapes and ghostly eyes among Halloween-themed space sightings

Sace Halloween montage // Skull shapes and ghostly eyes are among a gallery of Halloween-themed spooky space sightings. NASA Universe revealed several astral oddities on Wednesday ahead of October 31. Showcasing four eye-like observations, they wrote: "Do you ever get the feeling you’re being watched? Even though all of these cosmic objects are millions of light-years away, they can still send shivers down our spines when we find them staring back at us." Content agency SWNS has compiled a gallery of further space shockers that are enough to send a chill down the spine.
