Alberta Aurora Chasers Discover A New Night Sky Aurora Called 'Steve'
From The Huffington Post
Up in the sky, look: It's a bird. It's a plane. It's ... Steve?http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/2017/04/24/alberta-aurora-chasers-steve_n_16212914.htmlSuch is the name being given to a newly discovered night sky phenomenon, and Alberta citizen photographers are being given credit for the discovery.
In photos, "Steve" shows up as a bright purple-pink streak across the sky — a light that would often appear in photos posted to the Alberta Aurora Chasers Facebook page.
The group's photographers began to notice Steve a few years ago, administrator Chris Ratzlaff told The Huffington Post Canada, but it wasn't until a talk at the University of Calgary in 2015 that the scientific community took interest.
Ratzlaff said the group's members approached U of C physicist Eric Donovan and NASA's Elizabeth MacDonald, who works with the agency's citizen aurora project, Aurorasaurus, with some photos of Steve.
