Beta Crucis, Becrux and Mimosa; those are the names for a prominent star in the constellation of the Southern Cross, Crux. Becrux is apparently the 20th brightest star from earth [List_of_stars_in_Crux]. The five brightest stars of the Southern Cross feature on the Australian flag. Becrux is the leftmost star of the Southern Cross as it is on the Australian flag. The five brightest stars in the constellation can be named clockwise starting from Alpha Crucis or Acrux as the base of the Southern Cross.
Becrux is also the name for a new blog that I will be keeping.
The new blog is at the address http://www.7gs.com/becrux
It can also be reached through a redirection shortcut at becrux.net
The tone of this Pharoz blog was critical of the Howard Government and now with a change of Government that tone no longer seems appropriate. I was not only critical of the Howard Government but I also regularly offered creative and positive alternatives. I was very surprised that these dissenting ideas were misunderstood as they obviously have been. I am still very surprised…
With the Pharoz blog I regularly thought that I didn’t have anything else to write about, but something usually turned up post by post. There wasn’t any plan to it.
So I don’t know how the Becrux blog will turn out over time.
