Kōrero: Ranginui – the sky

Te rerenga o Tamanui-te-rā

The solar system

I tangohia tēnei whakaāhua o te rerenga o Tamanui-te-rā i tētahi waka ātea. Mai i runga ki raro ko Takero (Mercury), ko Tāwera – (hei te atatū), ko Meremere-tū-ahiahi rānei (hei te ahiahi), ko Kōpū (Venus); kei raro iho ko Te Ao me te Marama (earth and moon), ko Matawhero (Mars), ko Pareārau ko Hine-i-tīweka ranei (Jupiter); hei ētahi ko Pareārau anō te ingoa mō te aorangi e kīia ana e te Pākehā ko Saturn. Nā te tawhiti pāmamao o Uranus, o Neptune, kāore e tareka te kite ā-kanohi, kāore he ingoa Māori mō aua ao.
