STEVE IS NOT AN AURORA: For decades, amateur astronomers in Canada have been photographing a purple ribbon of light dancing alongside auroras during some geomagnetic storms. Nicknamed "STEVE", the ribbon belatedly caught the attention of the scientific community in 2016. They thought it might be a form of aurora. However, new research published yesterday in the Geophysical Research Letters suggests that STEVE is not an aurora at all, but rather something new and mysterious. Read the full story on today's edition of Spaceweather.com.
