Caption: Figure 1.

FUV (top panels) and NUV (bottom panels) images of U Hya as observed in the GALEX AIS images. The left panels show field source regions selected for removal. In the right panels, field sources have been removed and the best-fit ellipse to the bright FUV emission is depicted by the dashed line (see the text). In the upper right panel, the faint contours of the spoke-like feature are included along with the proper motion vector.
