Dr. John Barentine FRAS"As the world’s southernmost Dark Sky Sanctuary, #Rakiura is home to some of the best stargazing on the planet. This is perhaps unsurprising, given that one of the #Māori meanings of its name is ‘land of the glowing skies.’"
Ronsboy67@JohnBarentine The island's name is the primary reason we went there for a holiday last year. Sadly, those glowing skies were indeed very dark every night - with clouds. 😞 Seeing kiwi in the wild during the day on Ulva/Te Wharawhara was some compensation, at least
