'''Epsilon Eridani''' is a nearby K2 class star some 10.5 light years away in the constellation of [[Eridanus]]. In addition to being one of the nearest Sun-like stars, it is the closest known star with a planetary companion, which was discovered in 2000. Because of Epsilon Eridani's proximity to our solar system, the star has been an object of high interest among astronomers, and is a "Tier 1" target for NASA's optical Space Interferometry Mission.
