The Southern Cross

This smallest of all the 88 constellations is a big deal in the lower half of the globe. It's on flags. There are other images could link to that show it better but this is what it actually looks like looking up in the sky from a remote place without city lights like Amed or Gili Air. It's those four stars a little to upper right of the center of the image that I think of also as the Bali kite.
