If it were how they tell us it is, why are there zero pictures of the sun in the visible light spectrum taken from space? No one from the ISS ever took their smartphone and took a picture out the window? Not a single damn person?
There are videos from the ISS where the sun shows up, but without the earth atmosphere, it is too fucking bright for the visible light sensors (and only appears as a bright white spot).
heard of filters?
In a pinch, slap about 20 sunglasses in front of that bad boy and then take the picture.
If it were what they tell us, they would have billions of pictures of the sun with every filter imaginable in the visible light spectrum. Why is it so difficult to find just one?
Think about it :)

It's too bright, so when you filter it down, you just get a grey ball.
