The four major stars in the constellation Crux (Latin for 'cross'), or the Southern Cross, are Alpha Crucis (Acrux), Beta Crucis (also known as Mimosa or Becrux), Gamma Crucis(Gacrux) and Delta Crucis (Decrux). Some also include Epsilon Crux (Juxta Crucem) on the list although it is not actually part of the Cross itself.
