Beta Crucis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (173 words)
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.
