Museum

Today we went to the Museum to talk and learn about stars. We went into the cosmodome and learnt some of the constellations too, like Scorpius and Orion's belt. Orion's Belt is three stars in a row and we also saw Puanga, Matariki and the Milky Way. I learnt that blue stars are hotter than the sun. We celebrate Puanga on the 22nd of June. I also learnt that Orion was a great hunter but he got greedy and hunted all the animals on Earth so a god sent down a very poisonous scorpion. The scorpion stung Orion with his poisonous tail and Orion died. We got to see all the constellations in the cosmodome. There was Leo the lion, an anchor, a centaur, a dead soldier, a man holding a snake, the pot, a viking, a viking ship and others.
