The Fornax Constellation is a small constellation located in the southern sky. Its name means "furnace" in Latin, reflecting its association with heat and fire. Fornax was introduced in the 18th century by the French astronomer Nicolas Louis de Lacaille and is best known for containing the Fornax Dwarf Galaxy, a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way. Fornax is home to several notable deep-sky objects, including the Fornax Cluster, which is a group of galaxies. The constellation is visible primarily in the southern hemisphere and is best observed during the months of January to March. Its brightest star, Alpha Fornacis, is relatively faint compared to stars in other constellations.
