- Missouri (Wikipedia)
Missouri is a state in the Midwestern region of the United States. Ranking 21st in land area, it is bordered by eight states (tied for the most with Tennessee): Iowa to the north, Illinois, Kentucky and Tennessee to the east, Arkansas to the south and Oklahoma, Kansas and Nebraska to the west. In the south are the Ozarks, a forested highland, providing timber, minerals, and recreation. The Missouri River, after which the state is named, flows through the center into the Mississippi River, which makes up the eastern border. With more than six million residents, it is the 19th-most populous state of the country. The largest urban areas are St. Louis, Kansas City, Springfield and Columbia; the capital is Jefferson City.

DELTA CRU (Delta Crucis). Overwhelmed by its neighbors in Crux, one of the most famous constellations of the sky, and fourth brightest in the 4-star pattern, Delta Crucis is the only one with no proper name (though given that Alpha Crucis is called “Acrux” and Gamma Crucis “Gacrux,” no one would likely object to “Delcrux.”)
