Impact

Steve The Aurora

In July 2016, the Facebook group Albert Aurora Chasers,[8] a collection of Canadians who share photographs and information about aurora borealis, discovered an unusual strip of light too far south to be part of the northern lights.

Because little was known about the phenomenon, one of the Alberta Aurora Chaser members, Chris Ratzlaff named the light "Steve," after a scene from the film Over the Hedge. In the scene (shown below), the sudden appearance of a towering shrub causes the animals to name the identified object. They name it "Steve."[4]

Ratzlaff said, "It's a completely meaningless name, which is really useful for things that aren't understood."[6]

Online, people took to the name, prompting jokes and praise on Twitter.

SPACE.com @SPACEdotcom SPACE Space fans, this is "Steve," a strange new aurora feature with a very normal name goo.gl/ngOlzX

On April 23rd, Redditor cyanocittaetprocyon[10] posted the thread "Aurora photographers find new night sky lights and call them Steve" to the /r/NotTheOnion subreddit. The post received more than 5,200 points (94% upvoted) and 150 comments in the first three days. Another post about Steve on the /r/AskScience subreddit received more than 3,300 points (91% upvoted) within 24 hours of posting.[11]

Several media outlets covered Steve, including The New York Times,[4] Inverse,[5] CBC,[6] USA Today,[7] and more. On April 25th, 2017, Twitter published a Moment to document the discovery.[9]
