Another possible world is also hypothesized due to the discovery of a ''second'' asteroid belt between the inner asteroid belt and the broad outer belt of icy bodies, comet-type bodies. Such a world would most likely be a Jupiter-class planet orbiting at roughly 20 AUs around Epsilon Eridani, which would be "shepherding" the icy, rocky bodies at the outer rim of the second outer asteroid belt, just as Epsilon Eridani b shepherds the inner asteroid belt<ref>http://www.spitzer.caltech.edu/Media/releases/ssc2008-19/release.shtml</ref>.
Further There is further indirect evidence of a possible planet orbiting Epsilon Eridani because of asymmetries in the outer icy dust disk, which could be the result of perturbations by a substellar body located around 55-65 AUs. The planet, if it exists, would have around a fifth of the mass of Jupiter.<ref>http://www.lpi.usra.edu/meetings/LPSC99/pdf/1698.pdf</ref> For an [[terrestrial planet|Earth-like]] planet to have liquid water on its surface around Epsilon Eridani, it would need to be between 0.47 and 0.91 AU from its parent star. However such a planet would have to endure the much heavier meteorite or cometary bombardment in the youthful system, which may have about 1,000 times more cometary bodies than are found in our Solar System today.
