Matariki



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
