It may have been in November, for November is the month of rain, thunder and lightning. A bright star with a long tail appeared during Kamehameha’s birth. That kind of star is a comet. Astronomers know that Halley’s comet was seen in 1758. It is probable that Kamehameha was born in November 1758. Kamehameha Pai‘ea

Below Kamaku‘ialewa, and close to the circle of air that surrounds the earth [the atmosphere] isKeapoalewa(The ring of space).Below (malalo o) Keapoalewa, in (maloko o) the atmosphere where birds fly, is thelewanu‘u.The space in which a man's legs dangle as he holds onto a branch of a tree is called thehaka-a-lewa(ladder to space).If a man stands on the ground and lifts up one foot, leaving the other on the ground, this is calledlewaho‘omakua(a space established), because of the one foot remaining on the ground.
