    Among other sci-fi references to Epsilon Eridani...

    The Halo books (which tbh are an amazing read despite roots in video games) have a miltary base home to the Spartans (such as Master Chief) known as "Reach" in the Epsilon Eridani system.

    Yay for useless trivia!

    Wasn't Baleyworld part of the second wave of human colonisation, making its colonists the Settlers rather than the Spacers?

    Been a while since I read those books though, so I'm not 100% sure on that.

    It used to be unclear if Vulcan was Epsilon Eridani or 40 Eridani, so we can forgive that :)

    Sorry, guys, but Vulcan orbits 40 Eridani A, not Epsilon Eridani.


    Nice try, though.

    @TheAlmanac: Man, I said the same thing on Gizmodo earlier today (Gizmodo) and they all insulted me. I feel more at home here at io9 sometimes...


    And sidenote, is it mandatory that you start such a statement with "sorry guys," because we both did...

    I'm just wondering if I'll see a man on Mars in my lifetime, let alone in another galaxy...


    And we need more new B5 DVD's!
