Hot blue starIts story
ε Doradus is a hot blue star in the constellation of the Goldfish, charted by Dutch navigators at the end of the 16th century. Its cold, electric light travels for nearly six hundred years before reaching Earth, crossing the same region of sky that hosts the Large Magellanic Cloud. Its B type places it among the stars of shortest life and most vertiginous energy output.
