First named by scientists in Canada in 2016, it is relatively new to scientists, according to US space agency NASA.
While photographers captured another spectacular display of the Northern Lights, also on show was the lesser spotted strong thermal emission velocity enhancement, a rare aurora-like phenomenon named a Steve.
The atmospheric optical phenomenon is caused by a flowing ribbon of hot plasma breaking through into the earth's ionosphere, appearing in the sky as a purple, red and white arc. He added: "Tonight has been really special. I think many people have captured it along the coast. I'm seeing lots of posts come up on social media and everyone seems to have been getting some fantastic images all the way along the coast."What is the difference between Steve and the aurora?
