These pictures show how the Sun looks in ultraviolet (UV) "light". There are four pictures in different "colors" of UV "light". There is also one picture in normal, visible light. Can you find some sunspots in the visible light picture? Can you see how the UV pictures are bright where the sunspots are? There is lots of energy around sunspots, and the energy gives off UV radiation. How does the Sun look different in the different "color" UV pictures? A satellite called SOHO took these pictures in February 2002.
