Explanation:
This breathtaking patch of sky would be above you were you
to stand at the
South Pole of the Earth.
Just above and to the right of
this photograph's center
are the four stars that mark the
boundaries of the famous
Southern Cross.
At the top of this constellation, also known as
The Crux, is the orange star
Gamma Crucis.
The
band of stars, dust, and gas
crossing the middle of the photograph is part our
Milky Way Galaxy.
In the very center of the photograph is the dark
Coal Sack Nebula,
and the bright nebula on the far right is the
Carina Nebula.
The Southern Cross is such a famous constellation that it is
depicted on the
national flag of Australia.
