How far is the Southern Cross from earth?

The Southern Cross is not an actual object. The constellations are ways of grouping stars in ways that make sense to earth observers. The stars of this constellation may or may not be in reasonable proximity to one another, but in any event, you would have to consider the distances of each individual star. See link for more. Three of the four stars in the Southern Cross are at approximately the same distance. They are the two brightest ones and the faintest one, which are between 600 and 680 light years away. The other one is at about one fifth the distance, 135 light years.
