In the dark of Sunday night and Monday morning , a surprise solar storm slammed into Earth, showering our planet in a rapid stream of charged particles from the sun. The resulting clash of solar and terrestrial particles in Earth's atmosphere caused stunning auroras to appear at much lower latitudes than usual — and, in southern Canada, triggered a surprise cameo from the mysterious sky phenomenon known as STEVE.
"STEVE lasted about 40 minutes, appearing as the … aurora to the north subsided," Dyer wrote on Twitter on Aug. 8."STEVE was 'discovered' here so he likes appearing here more than anywhere else!"As Dyer noted, the strange sky glow called STEVE was first described by citizen scientists and aurora hunters in northern Canada in 2017.
