Its story
π² Doradus is a yellow star in the constellation Dorado, located in the southern region of the sky that hosts the Large Magellanic Cloud, satellite galaxy of the Milky Way. Its G type makes it kin to the Sun —a warm, mature star— though its light scatters across several hundred light-years. It shines in one of the richest corners of the southern deep sky.
