Bailer, Fishline, Kite Star Lines Adorn ‘Imiloa October 2024 Sky Watch

Summary: Bailer, Fishline, Kite star lines, night’s meteor showers, Saturn, the Milky Way and pre-dawn’s Jupiter and Mars adorn ‘Imiloa October 2024 Sky Watch.

"God talks to human beings through many vectors: through each other, through organized religion, through the great books of those religions, through wise people, through art and music and literature and poetry, but nowhere with such detail and grace and color and joy as through creation. When we destroy a species, when we destroy a special place, we're diminishing our capacity to sense the divine, understand who God is and what our own potential is." Robert Francis Kennedy Jr., April 19, 2023, Boston Park Plaza Hotel, Back Bay, Boston, Massachusetts.

“And there’s many people out there who want us to move to the next planet already and I’m like, hang on, let’s not give up on this planet yet," William, Prince of Wales, July 31, 2023, Sorted Food food truck, London, England, United Kingdom.

The Bailer of Makalii, the Chief’s Fishline, the Kite of Kawelo star lines, night’s meteor showers, Saturn and the Milky Way and pre-dawn’s Jupiter and Mars adorn ‘Imiloa October 2024 Sky Watch.

Kalupeakawelo (the Kite of Kawelo, from Hawaiian ka lupe a kawelo, “the kite of Kawelo [from ka welo, “the family trait”]”) rising beautifies the east horizon. The Koolau horizon northeast of the Hikina horizon contains the Kona-headed Milky Way galaxy (from Hawaiian Ko’olau, “north, windward; Hikina, “east”; I’a, “fish”; Kona, “leeward, southwest”). The Kalupeakawelo star line domiciles the planet Saturn (Hawaiianized Makulu) with its stars in its southwest kite strings, before where Fomalhaut (Kūkaniloko) and Canopus (Nālani) dwell.

Mānaiakalani (the Chief’s Fishline, from Hawaiian māna ia ka lani, “hook fish the chief[’s]”) setting exits into Komohana (from Hawaiian komo, “west, [where sun] enters [sea]”).

Kekāomakalii (the Bailer of Makali’i, from Hawaiian ke kā o Makali’i, “the canoe-bailer of [the] Pleiades [from Hawaiian maka li’i, “eyes/stars little”]”) favors the early-morning east.

Early October (Hawaiianized ‘Okakopa) through early November (Hawaiianized Nowemapa) nights guard the Orionid meteor shower (from Akkadian Uru-anna, “heaven’s light[?]” via Greek Ὠρίων via Latin Ōrīōn). Night skies house shooting stars that hail from around the Gemini and the Orion constellations (Latin geminī from Greek Δίδυμοι, “twin”), respectively Hawaiianized Kamahana and Kaheiheionakeiki. The Halley comet tail itinerating the inner-solar system in the year 1986 issued 20 hourly shooting stars Sunday and Monday nights, Oct. 20 and 21, 2024.

‘Imiloa October 2024 Sky Watch jubilates Bailer, Fishline, Kite star lines, of which the first-judged journeys in early-morning skies with center-journeying Jupiter (Ka-ā-wela), east-journeying Mars (Hōkū-ʻula).

Early-morning Kekāomakali’i keepsakes Hōkūlei (Auriga), Nānāmua (Castor), Nānāhope (Pollux) and Puana (Procyon; from Hawaiian hōkū lei, “star[-]wreath”; nānā mua, “star first”; nānāhope, “star last”; puana, “blossom”).

Early-morning Makali’i bailer lodges ‘A’ā (Sirius) and Keali’iokonaikalewa (Canopus; from Hawaiian ‘a’ā, “bright-burning”; ke ali’i o kona i ka lewa, “the chief of the southern horizon”). Kalupeakawelo maintains ‘Iwakeli’i (Cassiopeia) afore Alpheratz (Manōkalanipō) and Algenib (Pi’ilani; from Hawaiian ‘iwi ali’i, “frigatebird chief”; manō ka la nipō, “shark the heavenly night[‘s]”; pi’ilani, “heaven[ward-]climbing”). Kaikilani niches, Malanai southeastward of aforementioned Ko’olau (“northeast”) and Hikina horizons, Kaikilani (“east”; from Hawaiian malanai, “gentle breeze”; ko’olau, “windward”; ka iki lani, “the little chief[ess]”).

‘Imiloa October 2024 Sky Watch offers Bailer, Fishline, Kite star lines as respectively early-morning eastward, evening northeastward through southward, evening westward through southwestward navigational star families.

Kalupeakawelo presents Kamō’ī (Cepheus) northeast-centerward, Kawelo-kite (Great-Square) stars Kākuhihewa (Scheat) and Keawe (from Hawaiian ka mōī, “the king”; kākuhi hewa, “mistakenly[-]chart[ed]”; ke awe, “the bearer”) Hikina-centerward.

Kalupeakawelo queues Kūkaniloku (Formalhaut) and Nālani Hema-ward (“south[-ward]”) even as Mānaiakalani quests Pīmoe (Sagittarius) and Kamakaunuiamāui (Scorpius) Kona-ward (“southwest[-ward]”; from Hawaiian hema, “[west-sun] leftward”; kona, “leeward”). Pīmoe and Kamakaunuiamāui (from Hawaiian ka makau nui a māui, “the fishhook big [chief] Maui[‘s]”]”) reside southwestward of westward Pira’etea (Deneb), Keoe (Vega) and Humu (Altair). Pira’etea, Keoe and Humu (from Hawaiian pira’etea, “white sea-swallow”; keoe, “sweet potato [Ipomoea batatas”]”); humu, “fishhook-hole”) structure the Navigator’s Summer Triangle centerward of Pegasus’ Great Square.

‘Imiloa October 2024 Sky Watch teams Bailer, Fishline, Kite star lines as three navigational star families tethering respectively five-star pentagonal, three-star triangular and four-star boxlike transmissions.
