She goes on to describe the constellation, both its physical and political aspects, since it is one of the main symbols of the Brazilian nation. However, it reveals that the Cruzeiro do Sul is inverted on the national flag, in relation to how it is seen from Earth. Describes the stars of the constellation from political elements, recording the situation through which the country passes.

The book contains a pierced blade depicting the Southern Cross, inserted in the center of the book.
