You know what, now I'm not so sure. It's from the Solar Dynamics Observatory, and their gallery is full of similarly spectacular images. I didn't look too hard, but they don't seem to list them as renderings. Indeed they've got a "sun as art" section.
Gods are my co-pilots.
From the SDO's "Sun as Art" section:
Most images were taken in extreme ultraviolet wavelength of light. Many images are presented with no manipulation at all; in some, only color tables are altered; in the more inventive ones, pieces were cut and moved around.

Aha, there we go.
