毋是逐條路攏迵 tùi STEVE 極光去。 頂禮拜，有一个夜空愛好者 leh 旅行，伊 ê 目標是欲翕 Huron 湖 天頂 ê 極光。 伊駛車行過 加拿大 Ontario 庄跤小路 ê 時陣，預報講 ê 景色 煞提早出現，予這个攝影師 tī 伊駛到美麗 ê 五大湖 進前就愛提早停車。 結果伊翕著 ê 極光是 tī 北方，頭前是陸地，毋是海。 等第二擺極光出現 ê 時陣，西方煞出現一个 特別 ê 光帶。 過一站仔，攝影師 kah 伊 ê 朋友發現講，這个西方 ê 光帶真有可能是一款特別形態 ê 極光，叫做 STEVE，速度增加的強熱輻射。 而且，這个 STEVE 極光 嘛 leh 表演予咱看：伊 kah 咱 銀河系 ê 中央帶交叉，閣 kah 庄跤路尾附近 ê 地平線交叉。 攝影師用 kha-mé-lah 翕著 這个 宇宙 X 影像了後，伊就暫時停落來欣賞這个 tī 平凡環境中 意外發現 ê 美麗景色。

[English] STEVE and Milky Way Cross over Rural Road

Not every road ends in a STEVE. A week ago, a sky enthusiast's journey began with a goal: to photograph an aurora over Lake Huron. Driving through rural Ontario, Canada, the forecasted sky show started unexpectedly early, causing the photographer to stop before arriving at the scenic Great Lake. Aurora images were taken toward the north -- but over land, not sea. While waiting for a second round of auroras, a peculiar band of light was noticed to the west. Slowly, the photographer and friends realized that this western band was likely an unusual type of aurora: a Strong Thermal Emission Velocity Enhancement (STEVE). Moreover, this STEVE was putting on quite a show: appearing intertwined with the central band of our Milky Way Galaxy while intersecting the horizon just near the end of the country road. After capturing this cosmic X on camera, the photographer paused to appreciate the unexpected awesomeness of finding extraordinary beauty in an ordinary setting.
