 Acrux   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Crux's southernmost star, Acrux, is not only the Cross's brightest star (for which it received the Alpha designation), but is the twelfth brightest star in the sky (at 0.77, almost "zeroth" magnitude).
A wonderful surprise awaits the telescopic viewer, as Acrux is not one star, but near-twins separated by only 4 seconds of arc.
However, if at Acrux's distance, it is under-luminous for its class, and is probably just a line of sight partner over twice as far away.

 * Dusted Reviews - Upsilon Acrux *
Since they were never especially brutal, anyway, Upsilon Acrux were somewhat of a step-sibling to bands like Orthrelm, The Flying Luttenbachers, and Ruins, anyway.
The quintet were, however, the most obvious students of the prog tradition, both in music, and references to their musical forefathers (the album title In the Acrux of the Upsilon King should be evidence enough of the latter).
The aforementioned album, wordy title and all, was over 70 minutes of intricate, athletic music, but a sameness and lack of surprise made it seem like more of a showcase of flexibility and dexterity than anything else.
