The Stars of Matariki

As we celebrate Matariki at this time of the year, what do we know about this group of stars?

Also called the Pleiades or the Seven Sisters, where do we look for them in the night sky and why do the images of these stars look so beautiful surrounded in a bluish haze?

Learn more about what makes them so special to astronomers with Antony Gomez from the Wellington Astronomical Society.

Followed by stargazing with the Wellington Astronomical Society if the sky is clear!
