The Aurora Australis (Southern lights) as seen from the International Space Station.

Magnetic activity on the sun has really been running on high gear  recently and while it hasn’t caused any problems so far, skywatchers  around the world are being treated to some exceptionally energetic  aurorae — and the same goes for the skywatchers in orbit!
