Back in 1982, I traveled to New Zealand with my family, and my brother and my sister and I "tramped" the Heaphy Track. It was September, so late spring, and there were no other people walking the track - we only saw a warden on the first and last of the 5 days.

On the 4th night, I went outside the cabin and down to the river bank and when I looked up at the sky - I had to shout out loud! The Hydra was a brilliant *cloud* of stars making a bright snaking band across the sky - I will remember it always.

We miss so much and we shrink our universe down to a light polluted ground-based little zone...

Speaking of New Zealand, Christopher Monckton was not well received:
