Chasing Steve: a mystery in the night sky
"Chasing Steve" is a documentary about a group of unwitting Alberta aurora chasers who discover a new phenomenon in the night sky and name it.
For years, a group of aurora chasers across Alberta had been photographing a curious ribbon of purple and green light in their night skies. Extending for thousands of kilometres and appearing for just a few minutes to an hour at a time, these citizen scientists captured this celestial phenomenon in their photographs not quite knowing what it was.
The documentary is the exciting and heart-warming tale of what happened when the word got out, and the world met ‘STEVE’.
