The Mysterious Phenomenon Called "Steve" Discovered by Amateur Photographers

A group of amateur aurora photographers keep noticing a thin purple ribbon of light that doesn't match any known aurora pattern, and eventually hand their images over to scientists who have no explanation either. Chasing Steve follows that phenomenon from a hobbyist's photo to an actual new addition to atmospheric science.
