  2. "Northern Lights: What is Steve and why is it different to an aurora borealis?"

    We know more about 'Steve' than is suggested in this article. Geospace physicists have long suggested that the aurora-related light is due to sub-auroral ion drift in the mid- to high-latititude ionosphere. We were talking about SAID when I was active in the field several decades ago.

  3. Aurora watching is a bewitching experience. As a space and upper atmosphere physicist I did it professionally for many years, and the magic never faded.
