Ultraviolet imaging with the Galaxy Evolution Explorer has revealed the full extent and detailed structure of the circumstellar envelope of the nearest carbon type asymptotic giant branch star IRC+10216 (CW Leo). This is the first image to clearly distinguish all the components of a complete ``astrosphere" including the termination shock, astropause, contact discontinuity, astrotail/wake, and leading bow shock. There are both significant differences and similarities with respect to Mira's ultraviolet turbulent wake.
