Matariki: Mythology, Astronomy and Warring Gods of the Maori New Year

Rangi and
Papa, and these two mythical creators of the universe represent the sky-father and earth-mother in an eternal cosmic embrace. According to mythologist B. G. Biggs’ excellent 1966 book
Maori Myths and Traditions , the great cosmic-couple generated an all-male brood who were “entrapped in the darkness between the sky and the Earth” until the fiercest of the children,
Tūmatauenga, planned to kill his parents.
Historian A. Smith’s 1993 compilation,
He Tuhituhinga Tai Hau-a-uru (Songs and Stories of Taranaki), says

Tāne, the god of forests and birds, suggested it was better to push their parents apart than to kill them, but nothing the brothers could muster threatened the loving embrace of their parents (sky and Earth). Finally,

How to View Jupiter and Saturn's Rare Conjunction Over Arizona December 21

A busy year for skywatchers – including supermoons, meteor showers, and cometary flybys – is about to conclude with a rare sight.
On Monday, December 21, Jupiter and Saturn will get close enough together in the night sky that they’ll appear to form a single planet. It’s known as a “great conjunction” by astronomers and is a unique celestial event that occurs once every 20 years or so.
This particular conjunction will be even more special, and not just because it will happen during the winter solstice. According to astronomers, Jupiter and Saturn will appear to be less than a 10th of a degree apart, the closest they’ve been in almost 400 years. (The last time it occurred was in 1623 during the age of Galileo.)
