	Beta Crucis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mimosa or Becrux (β Cru / β Crucis / Beta Crucis) is the second brightest star in the constellation Crux and one of the one of the brightest stars in the nighttime sky.
		Since Beta Crucis is at roughly −60° declination, it is only visible south of the Tropic of Cancer and therefore didn't receive an ancient traditional name.
		Beta Crucis is located approximately 353 light years from Earth's Solar System.

	Crux (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		Also called the Kappa Crucis star cluster, this open cluster is composed of over a hundred stars, about fifty of which are a mixture of colourful supergiants: reds and blues intermingled with yellows and whites in a profusion of sparkling light.
		Beta Crucis (Mimosa) is the brightest star of the group, a blue-white giant (nearly five times the Sun's size) with a visual magnitude of 1.25.
		Alpha Crucis is by far the best of the group: a splendid binary of equal blue-white stars: 1.58, 2.09; PA 115º, separation 4.4".

		Beta Crucis, at a visual magnitude of 1.3, is nearly as bright as alpha.
		In the same region, southeast of beta, is the remarkable Jewel Box star cluster (NGC 4755), one of the finest in all the heavens: binoculars.
		The brightest member is kappa Crucis, and its distance of 7500 light years gives us a good idea of the distance of the cluster in general.

	Southern Cross - Stars and features of the cross - Te Ara Encyclopedia of New Zealand
		Beta Crucis, also known as Mimosa, forms the eastern tip of the upright cross.
		It is the second brightest star in the Southern Cross, and the 20th brightest star in the sky.
		Gamma Crucis or Gacrux, at the top of the cross, is a distinct red-orange star, and stands out in contrast to the other, blue-white stars of the cross.

		The two brightest stars in centaurus, 'Alpha' and 'Beta' Centauri, are known as 'The Pointers' because they point to the southern cross.....
		Alpha Centauri is the third brightest star in the sky and is a very important star because it is our nearest neighbouring star, only about 4.3 light years away.
		'Beta Centauri', the other pointer, is 360 light years away and fainter than 'Alpha Centauri'.

		Crucis form a fixed binary, also an easy one for small telescopes: 4, 5.2; PA 17º and separation 35".
		Finally, R Crucis isn't (as one might think) a Mira-type long-period variable, but rather a cepheid, ranging from 6.4 to 7.23 every 5d19h49m5s.
		The Coal Sack is a large dark nebula only 550 light years away, just to the south of the Jewel Box, visible to the naked eye.

	Gacrux / Gamma Crucis 2?
		The star lies in the part (12:31:10.0-57:6:47.6, ICRS 2000.0) or "top" of Constellation Crux (see chart and photo), the Southern Cross -- northwest of Mimosa (Beta Crucis), northeast of Delta Crucis, and north of Acrux (Alpha Crucis).
		For a time, observers believed that Gacrux had a faint, bluish white (A3 V) binary companion lying within two minutes of arc that is still designated in the SIMBAD Astronomical Database and the Yale Bright Star Catalogue, 1991 5th Revised Edition as Gamma Crucis B (HR 4764 or HD 108925).
		Once more massive and brighter than Gacrux and so burnt out much faster, it is now probably a few hundred times fainter than Sol, with 0.6 to 1.4 times its mass and less than one percent of its diameter -- a very dense object at planetary size.
