Southern Cross

If you're not familiar with the Australian flag, it consists of the Union Jack (for its association with Britain), a large seven-pointed star known as the Commonwealth Star, and the five-star Southern Cross constellation.


Someone has finally pointed out the Southern Cross constellation to me the other night. Its the brightest constellation visible only on the Southern Hemisphere. So if you're in the US and are trying to find this constellation, goodluck! You can only see it in the southern hemisphere of the earth.
