This
week we celebrated the rising of the star cluster Matariki. This signifies the start of the Maori New
Year.
The Stardome gives you some good tips to find Matariki in the sky:

The
stars become visible before sunrise in the sky looking north-east towards the
end of May. It becomes more clearly visible in the following weeks, rising
further and further towards the south once the shortest day is past
