Epsilon Eridani's hot corona results in a mass loss rate in Epsilon Eridani's stellar wind that is 30 times higher than the Sun's. This stellar wind generates the astrosphere that spans about 8,000 au (0.039 pc) and contains a bow shock that lies 1,600 au (0.0078 pc) from Epsilon Eridani.
Epsilon Eridani b, also known as AEgir , [4] is an exoplanet approximately 10.5 light-years away orbiting the star Epsilon Eridani, in the constellation of Eridanus (the River). The planet was discovered in 2000, and as of 2024 remains the only confirmed planet in its planetary system .

The photos were taken by the Chandrayaan 2 orbiter in April 2021 and were reshared on Curiosity’s X page – which posts about space exploration – on Wednesday. "Image of Apollo 11 and 12 ...
p Eridani is a binary star with two orange components, 27 light-years from Earth. The magnitude 5.8 primary and 5.9 secondary have an orbital period of 500 years. [1] Artist's impression of a Jupiter-mass planet orbiting the nearby star Epsilon Eridani. Epsilon Eridani (the proper name is Ran [2]) is a star with one extrasolar planet similar to ...
The Babylon 5 space station is located in the Epsilon Eridani system, at the fifth Lagrangian point of the fictional planet Epsilon III and its moon. [7] It is an O'Neill cylinder 5 miles (8.0 km) long and 0.5–1.0 mile (0.80–1.61 km) in diameter.
40 Eridani is the system's Flamsteed designation and ο² Eridani (Latinised to Omicron 2 Eridani) its Bayer designation.The designations of the sub-components – 40 Eridani A, B and C – derive from the convention used by the Washington Multiplicity Catalog (WMC) for multiple star systems, and adopted by the International Astronomical Union (IAU).
Theta Eridani, Latinized from θ Eridani, is a binary system in the constellation of Eridanus with a combined apparent magnitude of 2.88. [6] Its two components are designated θ 1 Eridani , formally named Acamar / ˈ æ k ə m ɑːr / (the traditional name of the system), [ 13 ] [ 14 ] and θ 2 Eridani .
