The past couple nights

The past couple nights have been very clear, even though during the day it's been cloudy and rainy all day long. Each of the last two nights I've had a really good view of the Southern Cross, or Cruz, constellation in the southern sky. It's the only constellation I knew as a kid growing up in Papua New Guinea. It's also the constellation on the flag of Papua New Guinea, and the flag of Australia. I find it ironic that after growing up in the southern hemisphere I find myself south of the equator as an adult.
