STEVE is a phenomenon that has been observed by many Citizen Scientists from around the world. It has not been studied in detail until recently. It usually accompanies the Aurora but is not actual Aurora itself according to recent research and analysis. STEVE usually appears as a purple ribbon sometimes accompanied by a green component that can span the entire sky. It can also have a green "picket fence" characteristic that can appear adjacent to the purple ribbon.
