New Zealand Sabbatical

Dianne and I are vacationing in International Falls, Minnesota in search of the northern lights which led me to investigate “southern lights” and I find they exist and are sometimes seen in NZ so that is something else to anticipate. Conditions look bad for seeing the northern lights this week because of the full moon and paucity of solar flares but meteors are a good bet during the Perseus Meteor Shower these next several nights.
