Dorado

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.07 sec.

Dorado

Constellation of the southern hemisphere, represented as a goldfish or a swordfish. It is easy to locate, since the Large Magellanic Cloud marks its southern border. Its brightest star is Alpha Doradus, just under 200 light years from Earth.

One of the most conspicuous objects in the Large Magellanic Cloud is the ‘Great Looped Nebula’ that surrounds 30 Doradus.
