不是每条路的终点都是史蒂夫。一周前,一位天空爱好者的旅程开始了,他的目标是:拍摄休伦湖上空的极光。开车穿过加拿大安大略省的乡村,天气预报中的天空表演出乎意料地提前开始,导致摄影师在到达风景秀丽的大湖之前停下来。极光的图像是在北方拍摄的,但是在陆地上拍摄的,而不是在海上。在等待第二轮极光的时候,人们注意到西面有一道奇特的光带。慢慢地,摄影师和他的朋友们意识到这个西部的波段很可能是一种不寻常的极光:强热辐射速度增强(STEVE)。此外,这台史蒂夫正在上演一场精彩的表演:它与我们银河系的中心带交织在一起,在乡村公路的尽头附近与地平线相交。在用相机捕捉到这个宇宙X之后,摄影师停下来欣赏在普通环境中发现非凡之美的意想不到的敬畏。你的天空惊喜:APOD在你的生日上展示了什么照片?(1995后)

Not every road ends in a STEVE. A week ago, a sky enthusiast's journey began with a goal: to photograph an aurora over Lake Huron. Driving through rural Ontario, Canada, the forecasted sky show started unexpectedly early, causing the photographer to stop before arriving at the scenic Great Lake. Aurora images were taken toward the north -- but over land, not sea. While waiting for a second round of auroras, a peculiar band of light was noticed to the west. Slowly, the photographer and friends realized that this western band was likely an unusual type of aurora: a Strong Thermal Emission Velocity Enhancement (STEVE). Moreover, this STEVE was putting on quite a show: appearing intertwined with the central band of our Milky Way Galaxy while intersecting the horizon just near the end of the country road. After capturing this cosmic X on camera, the photographer paused to appreciate the unexpected awesomeness of finding extraordinary beauty in an ordinary setting.
