The Doradus Constellation is a southern constellation that was introduced in the 18th century by the French astronomer Nicolas Louis de Lacaille. It is named after the goldfish or dorado, a fish found in South American waters. Doradus is relatively small and contains several notable deep-sky objects, including the Large Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way. Doradus is best viewed in the southern hemisphere, particularly during the months of November to February. The constellation is bordered by Reticulum, Pictor, and Hydrus. Its brightest star, Beta Doradus, is a yellow giant that contributes to the constellation's visibility in the night sky.
