Excerpt: Epsilon Eridani ( Eri, Eridani) is a star in the constellation Eridanus. At a distance of 10.5 light years (ly), it has an apparent magnitude of 3.73 and is the third closest of the individual stars or star systems visible to the naked eye. Its age is estimated at less than a billion years. Because of its youth, Epsilon Eridani has a higher level of magnetic activity than the present-day Sun, with a stellar wind 30 times as strong. Its rotation period is a relatively rapid 11.2 days at the equator. Epsilon E...
