Crux

    The name Crux is Latin for "The Southern Cross." Interesting fact, this constellation is only visible from farther that 27 degrees north latitude. Though, at the time of Christ, it was visible from the latitude of Jerusalem (approximately 32 degrees North). The named stars in this constellation are Acrux "alpha of Crux," Becrux "(possibly mime, or mimosas the type of plant.)," and Gacrux "gamma of Crux."
