Matariki
Matariki is a small group of stars that reappear in the sky, around mid-winter in late May or
early June and rise just before dawn through the winter and spring.
From mid-November Matariki no longer rises but can be seen low in the north at dusk until it
disappears from view at the end of March, because it is too close to the sun. Its reappearance
in May/June was seen as a rebirth and for many Māori marked the New Year, also called
Matariki.
