I never uploaded this because I didn't think it was good enough. I guess the lack of green sky's here in the UK has changed my opinion. In the last 4 years I've seen both the Northern & Southern lights. Sometimes I forget how lucky I've been. 🌌 #northernlights #nightssky #northernlightscanada #auoraborealis #banffcanada #albertaaurorachasers #banffnationalpark (at Banff, Alberta) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJXC3kmBYZI/?igshid=1w08uw2x4d61c

'STEVE' is a purple ribbon of super hot and super fast moving gas (6km/s).What a cool phenomenon this is to see. Have you ever seen 'STEVE'? Share your pictures of the Aurora in the Bow Valley or surrounding areas this weekend on Bow Valley Network Facebook group or tag @bowvalleynetwork #aurora #albertaaurorachasers #banff #bowvalleynetwork 🤳@paulzizkaphoto (at Banff National Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/B15H0HpBW62/?igshid=1hcxpr1zjwr2c

Last night was the best aurora show I've seen in years, hands down.

All-Sky Steve Image Credit & Copyright: Alan Dyer, Amazingsky.com, TWAN

Explanation: Familiar green and red tinted auroral emission floods the sky along the northern (top) horizon in this fish-eye panorama projection from September 27. On the mild, clear evening the Milky Way tracks through the zenith of a southern Alberta sky and ends where the six-day-old Moon sets in the southwest. The odd, isolated, pink and whitish arc across the south has come to be known as Steve. The name was given to the phenomenon by the Alberta Aurora Chasers Facebook group who had recorded appearances of the aurora-like feature. Sometimes mistakenly identified as a proton aurora or proton arc, the mysterious Steve arcs seem associated with aurorae but appear closer to the equator than the auroral curtains. Widely documented by citizen scientists and recently directly explored by a Swarm mission satellite, Steve arcs have been measured as thermal emission from flowing gas rather than emission excited by energetic electrons. Even though a reverse-engineered acronym that fits the originally friendly name is Sudden Thermal Emission from Velocity Enhancement, his origin is still mysterious.

So much talk about "Steve" on social media right now, that unexplained celestial phenomenon we've been witnessing around here during aurora events. Hopefully all that buzz will fast-track the research surrounding the odd, static, purplish pillar. Exciting times! I was pulling images of Steve from the archives today and though I'd share one here for those who haven't seen it yet! Unlike the northern lights, Steve is rather static. On that occasion, after noticing where the pillar was from a different location, I had time to drive 15 minutes to Vermilion Lakes to line it up with Mount Rundle. It was still hovering in the same spot! #WildlyCreative #albertaaurorachasers #ExploreAlberta #abparks @ballwatch @manfrottoimaginemore #ExploreCanada #ShotOnCanon #CanadianCreatives #MountainCultureElevated http://ift.tt/2oJGQj7

The skies were on fire last night near Payne Lake. By the looks of the red there was a lot of excited oxygen at the high altitudes. Given I'm near the bottom of Alberta, I'm looking at these auroras side on, getting an unobstructed view of the higher alititude reds that might be obfuscated by the bright greens if I was standing under them in Northern Alberta, like looking at a cut open layered cake, neat! #albertaaurorachasers #auroraborealis (at Payne Lake)

#Repost @paulzizkaphoto (@get_repost) ・・・ The aurora-related phenomenon called "Steve" is making the headlines once more, with a great article published in Science Magazine yesterday. Here's what it looks like in-camera! :) #AlbertaAuroraChasers #Canada #ScienceMag #AuroraBorealis #NorthernLights
