[[Alpha Doradus]] is a blue-white star of magnitude 3.3, 176 light-years from Earth. It is the brightest star in Dorado. [[Beta Doradus]] is a notably bright [[Cepheid variable]] star. It is a yellow-tinged supergiant star that has a minimum magnitude of 4.1 and a maximum magnitude of 3.5. One thousand and forty light-years from Earth, Beta Doradus has a period of 9 days and 20 hours.{{sfn|Ridpath|Tirion|2017|pp=142–143}}

[[R Doradus]] is one of the many [[variable star]]s in Dorado. [[S Doradus|S Dor]], 9.721 [[hypergiant]] in the [[Large Magellanic Cloud]], is the prototype of [[Luminous blue variable|S Doradus variable]] stars. The variable star [[R Doradus]] 5.73 has the largest-known apparent size of any star other than the Sun.<ref>{{cite web |url = http://simbad.u-strasbg.fr/simbad/sim-id?Ident=r+doradus&NbIdent=1&Radius=2&Radius.unit=arcmin&submit=submit+id |title = R Doradus |access-date = 28 July 2012 |publisher = [[SIMBAD]]}}</ref> [[Gamma Doradus]] is the prototype of the [[Gamma Doradus variable]] stars.

[[SN1987A|Supernova 1987A]] was the closest supernova to occur since the invention of the telescope. [[SNR 0509-67.5]] is the remnant of an unusually energetic Type 1a supernova from about 400 years ago.

[[HE 0437-5439]] is a [[hypervelocity star]] escaping from the [[Milky Way]]/[[Magellanic Cloud]] system.

Dorado is also the location of the South [[Ecliptic pole]], which lies near the fish's head. The pole was called "Polus Doradinalis" by [[Philipp von Zesen]], aka Caesius.<ref>{{cite web | url= https://penelope.uchicago.edu/Thayer/E/Gazetteer/Topics/astronomy/_Texts/secondary/ALLSTA/Dorado*.html | title=Dorado | last=Allen | first=R.

In early 2020, the exoplanet [[TOI-700 d]] was discovered orbiting the star [[TOI-700]] in Dorado. This is the first [[Earth analog|potentially Earth-like exoplanet]] to be discovered by the [[Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite]].
