Ka whakaari mai ngā whetu te mea nei:“Ko tēnei te wā
o Matariki”…The stars display this fact:“This is
the time of Matariki”…
… Engari, ka huna ō rātou karere i roto i ō rātou ahuatanga
rereke o ia pō… But their message is hidden in their
changing appearance from night to night
Te wero ma tātou; te akonga o tō rātou
reo, hei mohio te karere
The challenge for us: to learn their way of speaking so we can understand the
message
Tuatahi: a mua i te korero o te tau hou, he aha te mea nei
“he tau”?Firstly, before speaking of a new year, what is this thing “a year”?
Na te huringa o te Ao nei, ka neke te
ahua o te Ra i roto i te rangi ia ra, ia ra
Due to the rotation of our Earth, it appears that the Sun moves in the sky
each day
… ka noho te Ra, ā, kei te noho tātou kei runga i te Ao e huri huri ana.
…the Sun stands still and we are on the Earth that turns.
Every night, the stars appear to turn for the same reason.
I a pō, ka huri te āhua o ngā whetū na
tēnei take hoki
Each night, it appears that the stars turn in the sky – for the same reason.
Every night, the stars appear to turn for the same reason.
Te kitenga ki te taha Raki – ka noho te pito o te huringa
kei raro i te paeroa, ā, ka huri nga whetū ki te taha maui
The view to the North – the centre of rotation lies below the horizon and the stars rotate to
the left
Every night, the stars appear to turn for the same reason.
Engari ma te kitenga ki te taha Tonga – ka noho te pito
o te huringa kei runga i te paeroa, ā, ka huri ngā whetū
me he karaka
But for the view to the South – the centre of rotation lies above the horizon and the stars
rotate clockwise
Ma tētahi wā poto, ka
warewaretia tātou te
huringa o te Ao nei ia ra
hei kite atu ki te nekenga o tētahi tangata i te poupou o
ia pō
For a moment we will forget the rotation of
the Earth each day so we can see
movement of a person each
night at midnight
Ia pō, ka kite atu tēnei tangata ki
tētahi kitenga hōu, ā, ko te mea pai mutunga
ma te kite atu ki tēnei
mea…
Each night this person
sees a different view and the best way to see
this phenomenon
…
… ka titiro atu ki te tai rāwhiti ia ata, na te mea ka tū ngā
whetu ia ra e whā ngā mineti a mua i te ra a mua…
…is to look to the east each morning because the stars rise four minutes earlier than they
did the day before…
Every night, the stars appear to turn for the same reason.
Na reira, ia ata, ka tū ētahi whetū hōu a mua i te tūnga o
te ra
Therefore each morning some new stars rise before the sun
I tēnei ra, ko Matariki ētahi o ēnei whetū hōu
MatarikiMatarikiToday, Matariki (Pleiades) are some of these
new stars
