Is the sun visible if you're standing on the moon?

My educated guess is that you can see the sun if you were standing on the moon. Having said that, why isn't there any pictures of the sun taken by astronauts who've "supposedly" walked on the moon..? This seems odd to me.

I think this is a good question. After searching a bit - it seems the primary photography target is Earth.

There are a couple of pictures of the sun taken from the moon from the Apollo 17 on this web site

The picture reference numbers are AS17-134-20410 and AS17-134-20411

There were pictures taken of the sun, not sure if they were intentional or not as previously has been said the cameras could have been damaged by direct shots of the sun.
