The southern constellation of Crux, "the cross" // Matt Hughes
The four stars that make up the points of the cross are:
Acrux (α Crucis) at the southern point. It is the 13th brightest star in the night sky and is a sextuple star system. Its name is an Americanism of "Alpha Crucis" created in the 20th century.
Mimosa (β Crucis) at the left point. It is a binary star system. Its name comes from the Latin word for "actor", the same word for the flower of the same name.
Gacrux (γ Crucis) at the northern point. It is the 26th brightest star in the sky, and is a single red giant. Its name is not another modern invention, but seems to be invented by astronomer Elijah Burritt in the early 1800s.
Imai (δ Crucis) at the right point. It is a solitary blue giant. Its name comes from the Mursi people of Ethiopia. As this star sets in the evening sky at dusk in August, it is said that the Omo River rises high enough to flatten the imai grass that grows along its banks.
