For skywatchers, scientists and even the astronauts on the International Space Station (ISS), the skies have recently been very active. The sun has released its largest eruptions of 2025, sparking a series of auroras that, in the Northern Hemisphere, have reached as far south as Mexico.
Add to this two comets that have been seen in the night sky, comet Swan and comet Lemmon. While the astronauts on the ISS had to take shelter during the recent solar storms to avoid potentially dangerous radiation, they did manage to capture this image of comet Lemmon appearing near the auroras on Earth.
