The sun is very visible next to the "EV" mark on the left of the photo. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Family_Portrait_(Voyager) [/quote] You know what? Thank you! this is about the only picture I have seen of the Sun from space. Thanks to you I looked up voyager pictures and found one more so now that's two. [/quote]

Sounds like a simple question, but I cant find a for sure answer. I watched this video on another thread and in it he says you cant see the Sun in outer space, and the only reason you can see it is because of the atmosphere. Well I cant find any pictures of the Sun in space, and the only videos I can find from NASA are close to the atmosphere. Can you see the Sun in outer space? Thanks
