Christmas Comet.....
In case any one is interested you may get a look at Comet Leonard (The Christmas Comet) with Binoculars or a telescope in the next few weeks. It's not been seen for thousands of years — and will never be seen again.
Gotta be worth a look to see if you can see it.

FYI..
Visually comets rarely look like all the photos that you see of them with a huge tail (as a time exposure was used), sometimes there is a tail visible but they usually look like a green fuzzy blob. Don't be disappointed if a green blob is all you see.... at least you will be one of the few people who actually saw it with your own eyes. :-}
Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
