It’s a special time of year to remember and give thanks to our tupuna (ancestors) and recently departed loved ones. It’s also time to finish the harvest and prepare the soil and plants for the coming year. Puanga Kai Rau is about enjoying the end of harvest and sharing stories and songs with family and friends during the cold months of winter as we await the tangi of the pipiwharauroa and kawekawea who herald the return of spring. \nFrom Wikipedia:\nRigel\, also known by its Bayer designation Beta Orionis (β Ori\, β Orionis)\, is the brightest star in the constellation Orion and the seventh brightest star in the night sky\, with visual magnitude 0.13. The star as seen from Earth is actually a triple star system\, with the primary star (Rigel A) a blue-white supergiant of absolute magnitude −7.84 and around 120000 times as luminous as the Sun. An Alpha Cygni variable\, it pulsates periodically. Visible in small telescopes\, Rigel B is itself a spectroscopic binary system\, consisting of two main sequence blue-white stars of spectral type B9. \nReference: (1) http://www.puanga.com

SUMMARY:Te Tōnga a Matariki (The setting of Matariki)
DESCRIPTION:As the end of the Māori year approaches\, the Matariki star cluster will begin to set with the sun in the Western sky. At this time Matariki isn’t visible. This occurs around the Tangaroa-ā-mua lunar phase during the star marama of Haratua (around 23 May). This period lasts around a month (a lunar cycle) until Matariki rises once again on the next Tangaroa-ā-mua lunar phase. This coincides with the date 21 June 2022 and is when most iwi observe Matariki rising.\n\n\n\nHei rau maharatanga – a time for rememberance\n\n\n\nWhile Matariki is associated life\, it also has a strong connection with death. The star Pōhutukawa in particular is associated with those whom have passed away. Once tohunga kōkōrangi have ascertained the Matariki signs for the year ahead\, the community will gather together to mourn the dead. Te Tirohanga (the viewing)\, Te Whakamahara i ngā mate (Remembering the dead) and Te Whāngai i ngā whētu (Feeding the stars) are outlined in our free eBook here and will be discussed more during upcoming days.
