Southern Cross Flag

Okay, kiddo, so have you ever seen the stars in the night sky? Well, the Southern Cross flag has stars on it!

The Southern Cross is actually a group of stars that you can see when you're in the southern part of the world. People who live in Australia and New Zealand can see it all the time, and it's even on their flags!

The flag is navy blue and has four stars in a cross shape with one big star next to it. That big star is called Epsilon Crucis and it's very important because it helps sailors navigate, kind of like a map in the sky!

The Southern Cross flag represents the different countries in the southern part of the world and their connection to the stars. So whenever you see the flag, you'll know that it's a symbol of these special stars and the people who live in the southern part of the world.
