Our librarian is searching for information relating to an aurora that
supposedly was visible from the Hawaiian islands (all right, the Sandwich
Islands) in 1859. She has searched all the available local records,
newspapers, genealogies and accounts, but has come up blank. Something like
an aurora should have been pretty spectacular to be seen in Hawaii; does
anyone have other resources she might check?

Thanks!
