Its story
θ Doradus is an orange giant in the constellation of the Goldfish, traced in the 16th century by Dutch navigators charting the southern skies. Its warm light crosses nearly five hundred years of space, traversing the same region of sky that hosts the Large Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way visible to the naked eye from the south.
