Pi-1
Its story
π¹ Doradus is an orange giant more than six hundred light-years away, in the constellation of the Goldfish charted by Dutch navigators of the 16th century. With π² it forms an optical pair drawing a double wink across the southern sky. Its warm K-type light speaks of a star already swollen, transitioning into the last phases of its nuclear life.
