Matariki/Pleiades/Seven Sisters/Messier 45/Melotte 22/...

Hello everyone! If you haven't noticed (you probably would have if you watch TVNZ, because they seem to have decided to advertise it) it's Matariki! A lot has been happening around Matariki (such as the kite day on top of Mt Roskill), or will be, and so we have been learning a lot about Matariki. If you were curious about the title, it's some of the different names for Matariki. In reading, we made a Google Slides about it, and here it is! And you aren't the only person who learned something. I had no idea that anyone said there were 7, not 9. I also had no idea that Taranaki couldn't see Matariki. If you were wondering when the Mt Roskill Kite Day is, it's on the 8th of July. If you want to comment, then do. Bye!
