This picture (above) of the Sun was captured by the EIT instrument on board
the NASA/ESA SOHO spacecraft.
It reveals the normally invisible ultraviolet radiation
streaming from the Sun.
It's actually a composite of three different Sun photos captured
at different parts of the ultraviolet spectrum and then merged together.



So, how do we know when the sun is agitated? When yer A$$ gets chapped.
