S.T.E.V.E. PanoramaA S.T.E.V.E. is a rare aurora phenomena, it appeared this night as a straight line across the sky from S.E.-N.W. S.T.E.V.E. is definitely a case of nerds picking the name and fitting the acronym to it afterward. It stands for Strong Thermal Emission Velocity Enhancement, they are only supposed to last a short time but this one persisted all night.
