Image Description and Details : One of the most iconic constellation of the southern hemisphere. It lies on the southern end of the Milky Way. Even though it is the smallest of all 88 modern constellations, Crux is among the most easily distinguished as its four main stars each have an apparent visual magnitude brighter than +2.8. It has attained a high level of cultural significance in many Southern Hemisphere states and nations.

This portion of the Milky Way in the southern hemisphere is very rich in nebulae and some star clusters, my favorite constellation "The southern cross" with its beautiful stars (Acrux, Mimosa, Gacrux and Imai) are the 4 main stars that they form this constellation which serves to find the south cardinal point by moving the central axis of the "cross" 3 and a half times.

We can also see the nebula of the keel or eta carina and below the cross the sack of coal or head of the "Choique" as the Mapuches knew it.

While taking these photos I was able to observe the passage of the International Space Station next to some Russian polar orbit satellites in the province of Rio Negro.
