A bizarre streak of light across the night sky nicknamed "STEVE" appeared on Sunday night, during the heights of the geomagnetic storm.

STEVE, which stands for Strong Thermal Emission Velocity Enhancement, was spotted as a column of pinkish-red light stretching across the New Zealand sky, with many astrophotographers sharing pictures of the strangely-named phenomenon to social media.
