Why do matariki stars disappear?

The Matariki stars, part of the Pleiades star cluster, appear to "disappear" in late autumn as they become less visible in the night sky due to the changing position of the Earth in relation to the stars and the rising of the Sun. This phenomenon occurs as the stars are obscured by the Sun's light during the longer days of summer. Matariki, or the Māori New Year, is celebrated when the cluster reappears in the early morning sky, signaling a time for reflection and renewal.


Why is your shadow sometimes in front of you and somtimes behind you?

Your shadow's position depends on the angle of the light source, primarily the sun. When the sun is low in the sky, such as during sunrise or sunset, your shadow is cast long in front of you. Conversely, when the sun is high overhead, your shadow falls directly beneath you or slightly behind you. This phenomenon occurs because shadows are formed in the direction opposite to the light source.
