Find the structures in STEVE
Follow photographers' observations of a strange sky ribbon, from wide views to fine structure and questions that remain in atmospheric research.
What to keep in mind
These photographs record different events and exposure lengths. The Childs Lake panorama combines eleven exposures; the actual 2022 event clip is separate from the explanatory discovery film.
Separate the structures
Compare the Strathmore and Fort Frances views. Where do green features accompany the pale arc, and where are they absent? Keep their ten- and four-second exposures in view.
Watch the fine structure
In the actual August 2022 excerpt, which details change within the glow? Describe visible motion without assigning a mechanism from colour alone.
Compare the wide views
What can the Crossfield photograph show that is harder to distinguish in the stitched Childs Lake panorama, and vice versa? Avoid treating these different events as consecutive frames.
