    Can I point a fun fact about the constellation Eridane ?
    Both stars Achernar and Acamar actually have the same meaning in their names, Akhir Nahr ( the Last of the River ), the reason for that, Achernar is not visible from the Greek isles (latitudes > 33° North) hence the choice of Acamar as the river's end, so to them that's it. Now however, that distinction is held by the star Achernar.
    In Arab Countries Achernar has a lot of names, my Favorite is al-mohalif which means the thing that makes you swear, the story behind that is because it has a similar trajectory and brightness in the sky compared to Suhil star ( Canopus ) so people back in the day used to argue about which one of them see and swear to god to defend their opinion.

      ah interesting stuff my friend, sadly it's very difficult to see Achernar from my vantage point though

      thanks amigo, pleased you enjoyed the video - as such a young star, seems to me Epsilon Eridani is going to play a big, big role in our long term and distant future

    Epsilon Eridani is idd an interesting star but still 10 ly away, that's a long way for future travelers🤔
