UK witnesses "Steve," a rare aurora-like phenomenon, and Northern Lights on Monday night.

UK sky-watchers witnessed the rare phenomenon "Steve" on Monday night, alongside the Northern Lights. Steve, a distinct light display resembling auroras, appeared in Scotland and northeast England, while the Northern Lights were visible as far south as Buckinghamshire and Norfolk. Named after a scene from "Over the Hedge," Steve is associated with a sub-auroral ion drift and is influenced by heightened solar activity, including a significant solar flare.
