What I Know about Matariki

Matariki is a Māori holiday that comes every late May  or early June.  Matariki is a star cluster, not a constellation.When seen from Earth, the stars in a constellation appear to be close together in a pattern, but they might actually be far from each other. There are about 500 stars in the Matariki cluster, but only six or seven are visible without a telescope.

Matariki has nine stars, but people still think it has seven
