02. What does the Sun look like when you're in space? (A K2S Question)

From The Space Library

It is more intense without the filtering of our atmosphere and it looks pure white to most of the astronauts viewing it through their special gold helmet shields. These shields reduce the level of sunlight to a safe margin in space so the astronauts will not damage their eyesight.
