	Eridanus (constellation) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Eridanus is the sixth largest of the 88 modern constellations.
		Eridanus is associated with two greek myths, both likely to be derived from the shape of the constellation - that of very twisty path.
		Eridanus was sometimes considered to be a river which flowed from the waters of Aquarius, and in such situations, Aquarius was deigned to face Eridanus (requiring a change of angle, and thus redesign of how the stars of Aquarius connect, so that the water poured onto the same side as Eridanus).

	Eridanus

	ERIDANUS LEAGUE
		The Eridanus League was one of mankind's first attempts at a unified interstellar civilization.
		To their credit, the military forces organized by the Epsilon Eridani council to defend other worlds never used their armaments to force defecting worlds to return to the fold, and even in the crisis years there were surprisingly few attempts by the SCS commanders to alter the local balance of power during inter-colony disputes.
		P Eridanus was colonized by various corporations that had been started in the E Eridani and 82 Eridani systems.

		Then there is the tortured relationship in EF Eridanus, where the smaller of two stars gave so much to its larger companion that it reached a dead end, and scientists said on Tuesday they haven't seen anything like it.
		The binary system EF Eridanus is made up of a recipient, a faint white dwarf star -- a sunlike star that has progressed to the final phase of its life -- and the donor object, which has about one-twentieth of our sun's mass.
		EF Eridanus is a type of binary star system known as magnetic cataclysmic variables, which may produce many more of these "dead" objects than scientists previously realized, Harrison said.

		82 Eridani is located only about 19.8 light-years (ly) away in the southern part (03:19:55.65-43:04:11.22, ICRS 2000.0) of Constellation Eridanus, the River -- southeast of Acamar (Theta1 Eridani).
		Apparently, past spectroscopic analysis suggested that the star may have a dim companion in a close orbit, but no study presenting empirical data for evaluating that indication was cited (see "Remark: SB" at the Astronomiches Rechen-Institut at Heidelberg's ARICNS page for 82 Eridani).
		Eridanus, the river, wends its way from the Hunter's foot of Orion then southwest to the southern circumpolar zone to enclose a larger area of sky than any other constellation.

		For example, Daniel 7:9-10 is a depiction of the constellation Auriga, the Shepherd-King, who sits in sovereign rule over the constellation Eridanus, the river of fire and judgement.
		Eridanus, according to these astronomy folks, is not clearly noted until the time of Ptolemy, well after Daniel's time, and it's date of origin is unknown.
		As for Auriga, we find here that it is no Shepherd-King, but rather: "Auriga may once have had a chariot, but he is most commonly found holding a Goat and two kids.
