I just thought this was amusing...

According to Astronomy Magazine, astronomers recently discovered a planet in the Epsilon Eridani system that has conditions that may be favorable for life to exist. The star is somewhat young so there probably isn't life, but it's interesting enough for it to be on the cover. yes.gif

If you didn't know, Epsilon Eridani is where the Aphorites went after their planet in the Regulus system was wrecked by Corrorians. The IAU should name the favorable planet Eridaan, since we called it first. eek4.gif

It's funny because it's a total coincidence. bluetongue.gif

You should send them a letter, demanding it be called Eridaan bluetongue.gif

It's a class K star... 4600ºK, 10.8 light years from Earth. Looks promising.

Yes, except for the '10.8 light years from Earth' part bluetongue.gif
