Editing Dorado (section)

===Deep-sky objects===
Because Dorado contains part of the [[Large Magellanic Cloud]], it is rich in deep sky objects. The Large Magellanic Cloud, 25,000 light-years in diameter, is a [[satellite galaxy]] of the Milky Way Galaxy, located at a distance of 179,000 light-years. It has been deformed by its gravitational interactions with the larger Milky Way. In 1987, it became host to [[SN 1987A]], the first supernova of 1987 and the closest since 1604.{{sfn|Wilkins|Dunn|2006}} This 25,000-light-year-wide galaxy contains over 10,000 million stars.{{sfn|Ridpath|Tirion|2017|pp=142–143}} All coordinates given are for Epoch [[J2000.0]].

* [[NGC 2074]] (RA 05h 39m 03.0s Dec −69° 29′ 54″) is an emission nebula.
* [[NGC 2078]] (RA 05h 39m 54s Dec −69° 44′ 54″) is an emission nebula.
* [[NGC 2080]], also called the "Ghost Head Nebula", is an emission nebula that is 50 light-years wide in the Large Magellanic Cloud. It is named for the two distinct white patches that it possesses, which are regions of recent [[star formation]]. The western portion is colored green from [[doubly ionized oxygen]], the southern portion is red from [[hydrogen alpha]] emissions, and the center region is colored yellow from both oxygen and hydrogen emissions. The western white patch, A1, has one massive, recently formed star inside. The eastern patch, A2, has several stars hidden in its dust.{{sfn|Wilkins|Dunn|2006}}
* [[Tarantula Nebula]] is in the Large Magellanic Cloud, named for its spiderlike shape. It is also designated 30 Doradus, as it is visible to the naked eye as a slightly out-of-focus star. Larger than any nebula in the Milky Way at 1,000 light-years in diameter, it is also brighter, because it is illuminated by the open star cluster [[NGC 2070]], which has at its center the star cluster [[R136]]. The illuminating stars are [[supergiant]]s.{{sfn|Ridpath|Tirion|2017|pp=142–143}}
<!-- *[[NGC 2157]] (RA 05h 57m 35s Dec -69° 11.8′) is an open cluster. Commented out because the nature of object is unverified. The Skyview image looks like a globular cluster and Google shows conflicting information about this object - BDM -->
* [[NGC 2164]] (RA 05h 58m 53s Dec -68° 30.9′) is a globular cluster.
* [[N44 (astronomy)|N44]] is a [[superbubble]] in the Large Magellanic Cloud that is 1,000 light-years wide. Its overall structure is shaped by the 40 hot stars towards its center. Within the superbubble of N44 is a smaller bubble catalogued as N44F. It is approximately 35 light-years in diameter and is shaped by an incredibly hot star at its center, which has a [[stellar wind]] speed of 7 million kilometers per hour. N44F also features dust columns with probable [[star formation]] hidden inside.{{sfn|Wilkins|Dunn|2006}}
