Hi guys!
Since Australia is such an important country, and has beautiful views, we wanted to talk to you about the Australian constellation.
The southern cross
The southern cross star constellation is part of our Australian flag, the stars. There are currently six stars on our flag, and the biggest one of all is called the commonwealth star.
The commonwealth star is a star with points. This large star represents the federation of all our lands and the people in our nation. The six points on the commonwealth star represent all the states in Australia, and the seventh represents the territories.
The top star on our flag is called the Gamma crux and it has 86 light years!The star on the right of the top star is called the Delta crux and it has 256 light years!
The star on the left of the top star is called the Beta crux and it has 424 light years!

And the little star, Epsilon crux has 57 light years.
