Fornax is a constellation located in the southern sky. Its name is derived from the Latin word for "furnace," reflecting its association with heat and fire. Fornax is home to several notable celestial objects, including the Fornax Dwarf Galaxy, which is a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way. The constellation was first introduced in the 18th century by the French astronomer Nicolas Louis de Lacaille. Fornax is best viewed during the months of January and February in the southern hemisphere. It contains a mix of bright stars and deep-sky objects, making it an interesting area for both amateur and professional astronomers.
