TIL: Aurora Has A Boyfriend And His Name Is STEVE

<html>
<p>Did you know that Aurora has a boyfriend? And his name is Steve? I didn't know it either, but thanks to @terrylovejoy I found out last week and decided to do some searching of my own on this "colorful" guy.</p>
<p><img src="https://cdn.pixabay.com/photo/2017/03/25/13/48/aurora-borealis-2173563_1280.jpg" width="1280" height="853"/></p>

<p>Aurora is a showgirl. What she does is dance over the sky in colorful veils of photons, leaving her audience stare in awe and amazement. Ok, in the physics books we learn that the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aurora">aurora</a> phenomenon is caused when charged particles leave the sun and travel in space <em>(</em><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_wind"><em>solar wind</em></a><em>)</em>. On their way, some of them interact with the Earth's magnetic field, collide with the molecules of the atmosphere and excite them in order to release a colored photon. All these photons combine to paint a beautiful picture over the night sky of the North and South poles. I still believe Aurora is a dancer of the seven veils <em>(like another Salome)</em> and she has a lovely partner to follow her lead.</p>
<h3>Ladies and gentlemen, meet...</h3>
<h1>STEVE!</h1>
<p>Steve is a cool guy. He works in the sky show business just like his girlfriend <em>(that's where he met her)</em>. Although he is not as talented and impressive as his girl, Aurora, Steve still knows how to put on a great show! What he does? Well, he keeps our eyes pinned on him with his beautiful purple colors and dance moves.</p>

<h2>Talk science to me</h2>
<p>What? Don't you believe my version of the story? Pfff! Ok, Doubting Thomas, here is what scientists, the bearers of official knowledge, have to say about Steve:</p>
<p>When the typical auroras appear like veils of green or yellow, with some purple or pink; Steve is more like streaks of purple and some occasional green. Steve got his name at random before he was studied and after scientists began to get a grip of what this phenomenon might be, his name had to be "adjusted" into an acronym for <em>"Strong Thermal Emission Velocity Enhancement"</em>. [3, 7]</p>
<p>A phenomenon that hasn't occurred but was observed recently <em>(2015-'16)</em>, STEVE is a wide <em>(25 km)</em> strip of hot gases running at speeds of 6 km/sec. Observed by citizen scientists, who have contributed greatly into the studying of the phenomenon, Steve was originally <em>(and mistakenly) </em>believed to be a <em>proton arc (a type of sub-auroral arc - with an </em><a href="https://wiki.oulu.fi/display/SpaceWiki/Auroral+arcs"><em>auroral arc</em></a><em> being a wide, luminous strip moving westwards)</em> that is usually subvisual and wide and appears in higher latitudes than this one did. [3, 4]</p>
<p>Over a few years of observations and photographs, a pattern seemed to have been formed regarding Steve's appearance. Steve would "come on stage" at nights with strong auroral activity or <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Substorm">substorms</a> or <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geomagnetic_storm">geomagnetic storms</a>, as this is the time when the aurora ovals expand from the poles towards the equator. Steve, though, was seen in unusually lower latitudes (65-80°). This year <em>(2018) </em>&nbsp;he was visible in North America <em>(Alaska, Canada and U.S. states of the North)</em>, the UK in Europe and New Zealand. &nbsp;[3, 4, 5]</p>
<p>Steve was eventually thought to be some kind of SAID <em>(SubAuroral Ion Drift - currents of ions moving at higher latitudes)</em>, it portrayed the density depletion, the characteristic strong flow of ionized particles <em>(it was moving at speeds of almost 6 km/sec)</em> and it also had the extremely high temperatures of 6000°C. Given the fact that SAID's cannot be visually perceived like Steve, who was also hotter and moving faster than a typical SAID; it was a unique version of an ion drift, that needed to be looked into deeper. [3, 4]</p>

<h2>Steve is a good (lay)man</h2>
<p>The "discovery" and further studying of this not-fully-understood phenomenon has highlighted the importance of citizen scientists and their contribution to the scientific field. The first reports on Steve started to appear in forums and the <a href="http://aurorasaurus.org/">aurorasaurus.org </a><em>(a project funded by NASA where citizen scientists contribute with their observations and photographs) </em>in 2015-'16. Ever since there has been a world-wide collaboration in order to learn more about him and understand how the Earth's magnetic field interacts with space ions. [6]</p>
<p>Steve was also observed from space. One of the Swarm satellites provided data that were crisscrossed with the citizen scientists reports. Scientists managed to match the ground sightings with the measurements from their &nbsp;electric field instruments and saw that something peculiar was happening, something that had been there for long, but they could see it just now. [2]</p>
<p>Without all those amateur astrophotographers and astronomers, we wouldn't have had such a rich archive and Steve might probably still be... an unknown dancer with a wasted talent.</p>

But to name it Steve..... 
And we all have to accept that name, in order to simplify communication with each other. So limiting, all that.
 If I said "I like your article about Magnox", for example, you may be confused. You may google it, if you are curious, and see that it's a a type of nuclear power/production reactor, which produces electrical power and plutonium-239.
What you couldn't know is that, in actuality, I didn't mean the nuclear power/production reactor, which produces electrical power and plutonium-239, I was referring to Steve.
Confusing.
So we comply in order to simplify.

Thanks for reminding me a past quote of mine with your philosophical touch!!

*We give names to put things away, like objects in the drawers. Only our heart does not need a name to love.*

Because words, names, categorization, generalization have nothing to do with love :)

Because at the poles, solar wind gets to "penetrate" the magnetic field and the friction with the elements in the atmosphere causes the auroras.

Oh yeah both poles have postive and negative charge that's why solar wind is directed towards them. 
That's a blessing though. As you mentioned, their temperature is very high, if they would appear at lower latitudes, it would kill life?
If yes then this beauty is evil in disguise. Lol

I really hope to one day be able to meet one of these 2 in person. So far I haven't been able to experience the delight of seeing an aurora nor his boyfriend, but it is something I would love to do.

I wonder what will happen when they have a kid? What type of phenomenon would that be? :P

Both Aurora and Steve are such a complicated phenomena, which I am sure I haven't been able to observe from this side of clime.

Maybe I will be guided by the accompanying photos to see if I will ever get to see these best of friends😂. 

Honestly, initially I had thought you were talking about humans until I was deep into the article. What a figurative way to write. 

Steem on.

Not in all cases. I must be honest, I get confused while reading this piece initially but  eventually get to understand you were talking about some natural phenomena observable in the sky. 

Have a lovely weekend.

To me this phenomenon is so amazing, so beautiful aurora family with steve, hopefully their relationship last forever. I wondered how it would be if their child were twins, I could not imagine how funny they were.

salute me for you.

Thank you for sharing.

Citizen's chasing Aurora is serious business around the world, I had no idea until joined the Aurora Australis Tasmania fb group (one of their 75,000 odd members!).  STEVE also give's Tasmania a visit on the odd occasion as well, so he is clearly "playing the field".

Anyway great writing @ruth-girl , more than honored to help out with writing ideas!

I didn't know that until I looked Steve up. It seems like there is an "army of spies" spread all over the world with their eyes, telescopes and cameras on the skies, all in the name of science. It is fascinating!

Thanks a lot for the inspiration!! It is always better to get ideas through other people's feedback!!

And a question: Have you ever seen Steve?

Unfortunately, I've never seen a Steve. 

I've seen a few Aurora's over the years,  the most memorable was from the bottom of the South Island of New Zealand where a friend invited me over for a dinner with his family.  When we were saying farewells (around 11pm at night) I noticed just over their house this beautiful auroral curtain pulsing and moving across the sky.  It was so unexpected that I interrupted my friend and said "wow, check out the Aurora!" in excitement.  In response, he glanced over had a quick look and said to me, "yeh, we get them all the time, nothing special, wait until you see one the fills the entire sky with greens, reds, and blues!"  So I've still yet to see a really good aurora I guess.

Hahaha.. Even "bizarre natural phenomenons" enter into relationship.. Very nice way of putting it.. Can't stop imagining what will happen when both of them procreate.. Hope their kid won't possess all the parents colors, coz the outcome might be a color riot.

Can't believe I thought it was a real boyfriend, :P

Strong Thermal Emission Velocity Enhancement doesn't sound familiar but I think I should do some findings on it. Not necessarily for a post, just for the knowing anyway.

>Without all those amateur astrophotographers and astronomers, we wouldn't have had such a rich archive and Steve might probably still be... an unknown dancer with a wasted talent.

This is really funny but it's actually true

Nice work, @ruth-girl

Real boyfriend? Like some weirdo astronomer we got engaged with a phenomenon, just like other weird people get married to trees or even chandeliers?

Weird video... A chandelier?

Well, steve is a real name so it got me thinking it's real boyfriend. Although I saw the science tag, I just ignored the voice in my head saying it can't be real...

Steve? This looks like a very cool name for a natural phenomenon. 
And awesomely enough, it has green patches. I wasn't wrong when I thought that natural phenomena come in different colours of the spectrum :)

Nice piece Ruthie.

PS: One day, they could name a natural phenomenon Sammy :p

After pixies, trolls, elves now we have Steve! Those scientists really keep "trolling" us, Sammy...

Hopefully you find a new phenomenon to name it after yourself :P

Thanks for stopping by :D

Steve and Aurora! Something I didn't know! For once, the acronym was reasonably cool :)
