# Pōwehi

**“Pōwehi” is a Hawaiian word meaning&#x20;*****Embellished Dark Source of Unending Creation*****, originally given to the M87 black hole—the first black hole ever photographed and the core of the giant elliptical galaxy in the Virgo constellation.** In Virgo, any M87 staker ranked within the top 87 positions earns the title of Pōwehi.

**Pōwehi are the exclusive creators of proposals within the Virgo DAO, embodying the spirit of continuous creation, but cannot vote on them—voting power is reserved for the Halo, ensuring a balance of creative and collective governance.**

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://messier.gitbook.io/catalogue-de-messier/messier-dao/powehi.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
