Tactile Constellations
====================
These prints are a set of common constellations that can be seen in the Southern Hemisphere. They are shown in two ways, an Indigenous constellation and the matching Western constellation. Often the Western constellations are upside down in the Southern Hemisphere sky. Constellations are often used by astronomers to place other objects in the sky.
The relative magnitude (brightness) of a star is shown by the size of the star. The lines connecting the stars represent the imaginary lines that people have 'drawn' in to make pictures with the stars. The stars are painted white and the lines are painted orange for increased contrast. They are approximately matched with respect to size, both with regards to the size of the stars and the distance of the stars from each other.
###Crux/Bunya
Crux is the scientific name for the Southern Cross. It has 4 stars that are joined by two approximately perpendicular lines to make a cross.
