The Sun: Man's Friend & Foe

Why are the pictures of the Sun green on the start page?

The pictures of the Sun on the start page were taken in ultraviolet light. Ultraviolet light pictures reveal gas from the Sun. If you used a different wavelength of ultraviolet light the picture would be a different color, say red for instance, like the picture at the right.
