Kia ora nau mai, hoki mai ki taku blog he tumanako kia pai to ra.
Hello welcome back to my hope you have a good day.
(I hope that the translasiont was correct if not im sorry) Today we countined to learn about Matariki although araund most of the world it is called Pleiades. Matariki is the celebration of maori new year for all new zealanders but it is found all around the world but called diffrent things and celabrates diffrent things but in new zealed it called Matariki and celabrates people,culture,language,spirituality and history. We had to find three facts about Matariki and then write them down here is my work.
The nine visible stars include: Matariki, Tupuārangi, Waipuna-ā-Rangi, Waitī, Tupuānuku, Ururangi, Waitā, Pōhutukawa and Hiwa-i-te-Rangi. Each star holds a certain significance over our wellbeing and environment, as seen from the Māori view of the world
Did you know in Japan, Matariki is called “Subaru” (coming together or cluster) and the car manufacturer's logo involves six stars to represent 5 companies merging into one.
Compared with other star clusters, Matariki is close to Earth – but it’s still 440 light years away. If you drove there in a car at a speed of 100 kilometres an hour, you would arrive in 4.8 billion years!
Thank you for reading my blog I hope you have a nice day bye.
