Matariki is the Maori new year, the time when the Matariki cluster of stars can be seen in our sky. It is a great time to celebrate the Maori culture and look into our night sky. The night sky in New Zealand is unique. What can you see in our night sky?
I went and looked at the night sky with Dad. We seen Venus, it was very bright. We seen the Southern Cross and a shooting star going very fast. We also seen the milky way starting to appear.
You can see a constellation of seven stars that guides you across the sea. The Maori did not have a GPS so they used the stars.
