论文摘要
公元15世纪，毛利人居住在两个主要岛屿时，在15世纪，在新西兰附近积累了十二个高级太阳能。以当今的首都惠灵顿为参考，我们计算了十个事件，其幅度大于1409年至1516年之间的幅度大于0.9，而另外两个则低于此值。由于天气状况，并不一定要观察到日食。讨论了可以在神话中传达的特定事件的暗示，但是约会远非确定。我们借此机会满足毛利人的天文学及其对这种自然现象的理解。此外，宣布了一群五个阳光的中心群集，该群岛将于2035年至2045年遇到新西兰。
A dozen of high-magnitude solar eclipses accumulated near New Zealand in the 15th century AD when the Maori inhabited the two main islands. Taking today's capital Wellington as the point of reference, we counted ten events with magnitude larger than 0.9 between 1409 and 1516 AD and two more just below this value. The eclipses need not have been all observed on account of weather conditions. An allusion to a particular event that could be conveyed in a myth is discussed, but the dating turns out far from certain. We take the opportunity here to meet the astronomy of the Maori and their understanding of this natural phenomenon. Moreover, an announcement is made to a cluster of five central eclipses of the sun that will encounter New Zealand from 2035 to 2045.
