Here is the article about the picture below:
antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap060710.html
If you click on the picture in the article, it will take you to a full size version of the image (depending on your browser, you may have to do a couple of things to actually see it full size, though). Or you can download said pic. It's pretty huge: 1500x1500. I have it restricted to 750x750 below. In case it's not obvious, that's our sun. The image is in three colors in the UV band, it's kind of a graph of the emission of those particular wavelengths.
And here's another thing on UV, because I'm such a geek I think it's too cool to leave out. It's got more interesting pics (but none as pretty as the one above).
