Eta Doradus (Eta Dor / η Doradus / η Dor) is an A-type main sequence star in the constellation of Dorado, around 330 light-years from the Earth. It has an apparent visual magnitude of approximately 5.697. It has a radius of 3.1 solar radii, and a luminosity of 56 suns. This star will be observed to be circumpolar south of latitude 24°S. η Doradus can be considered the south pole star of Venus, as it is the closest bright star to Venus's south celestial pole.
