How will you recognise the Matariki cluster when you see it?

These are the seven stars that make up the Matariki cluster These are the seven stars that make up the Matariki cluster. They always make the same shape but sometimes it is rotated in a different way in the sky. Uru-ā-rangi Waipuna-ā-rangi Matariki Waitā Tupu-ā-rangi Waitī Tupu-ā-nuku

Is this Matariki? No it is not. Why not?

This is one way of thinking about how the seven stars of Matariki relate to each other. What ways did you use?

North-East East Matariki rises just before dawn . You can find the star cluster in this way. Look for Puanga (Rigel) or Tautora (Orion’s belt) in the Eastern sky. Look to the left (heading North-East) to find a bright orange star called Taumata-kuku (Aldebaran) and continue left to find Matariki. In the first half of June you might see Mercury looking like a star in this area of the sky as well.
