Episode 10: Māori

Dog Stars

Mr Max and Chris are finally back out under clear skies, thanks to a break in the weather (and kind sponsorship from Big Cheese in the form of the Oxford Cheese Company). Max is b..b...b...back to the (shin) bone, Chris is distracted by the Moon, but we're talking about the upcoming conjunction of the Pleiades cluster and Venus. We cover the Māori calendar, Subaru cars, and a decent helping of cosmic coincidence, all while orbiting a particularly tasty bone. You can find a lovely image of the cluster here : https://www.eso.org/public/unitedkingdom/images/b11/?lang and read about the Māori New Year traditions around Matariki here: https://teara.govt.nz/en/matariki-maori-new-year
