Halloween just got a whole lot spookier and dare I say prettier? And it's all thanks a witch's broom in space!

The Canadian Space Agency just shared a jaw-dropping photo of space featuring the beautiful Witch’s Broom Nebula on their Twitter page.  

The pic is just in time for Halloween.

"Every day is #Halloween in space!" they tweeted.

And this holds true, as the image shows the Witch’s Broom Nebula in all her glory showing off her striking blue, black and red energy light. 

So if you weren't in the Halloween spirit yet then this will surely do the trick, as the spooky holiday is just one day away.

The photo of the Witch’s Broom Nebula was captured by fellow Canadian Gabriel Dornier from Gatineau, Quebec.

It was then shared by the Canadian Space Agency who often feature space photos on their Twitter page.

Canadians can actually use the tag #DiscoverTheSky to share their own seasonal pics and see some more intergalactic pics!
