“Southern Cross over Chilean Volcano” is copyrighted by Tomáš Slovinský. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteThe Southern Cross, a famous constellation, sits just to the left of Chile's erupting Villarrica volcano. From the reddest star, Gacrux, through the brightest, Acrux, your eye points towards the South Celestial Pole. This pole is the point around which all southern stars appear to spin.
