Sun. Ultraviolet image of the part of the Sun's atmosphere (upper chromosphere & lower transition layer),taken by the SOHO (Solar Heliospheric Observatory) satellite. The Sun appears granulated due to turbulence in its gas. Around the Sun's edge are rising flares of particles. The light seen here has a wavelength of 30.4 nanometres and is being produced by doubly-charged helium ions at a temperature of 60,000 degrees Celsius.
