Because the Sun is a spinning ball of gas, it’s wider through its equator than through the poles. The difference is so small that you really can’t see it. But for the brightest star of Eridanus, the river, it’s a different story. Achernar is a binary – two stars held together by their gravity. They orbit each other once every seven years. The system’s main star, Achernar A, is much bigger and heavier than the Sun, and thousands of times brighter. And it spins like crazy – its equator rotates at more than half-a-million miles per hour. That’s about 150 times faster than the Sun. As a result, the star is about 40 percent wider at its equator than at the poles. So instead of a ball, it looks like a fat M&M. That high-speed rotation has a couple of interesting consequences. For one thing, because Achernar’s poles are much closer to its core – the source of the star’s energy – the poles are thousands of degrees hotter than the equator. That heat creates “winds” of gas from the poles. And the fast rotation flings material from the equator. That surrounds the star with a cloud of gas and dust – a veil around a whirling star. Achernar is the southern tip of Eridanus. The star’s name means “river’s end.” It’s not visible from north of about Dallas. The rest of Eridanus is in better view. It begins next to the foot of Orion, which is in the east-southeast at nightfall, then curls to the right and down to the horizon. Script by Damond Benningfield

A cosmic ornament decorates the night at this time of year. NGC 1300 is too faint to see with the eye alone. But images reveal one of the most beautiful galaxies in the universe. A long “bar” of stars crosses its middle, with ribbons of stars trailing away from the bar’s ends. Barred spirals are becoming more common as the universe ages. About seven billion years ago, only 20 percent of spiral galaxies had bars. But in the modern universe, the fraction goes up to about 65 percent. That includes our home galaxy, the Milky Way. So bars may develop naturally as the galaxies age. The bar funnels gas toward the center of NGC 1300. There, it forms a spiral within a spiral – a disk more than 3,000 light-years across. Some of the gas from the bar pours into a black hole that’s about 75 million times the mass of the Sun – many times the weight of the Milky Way’s black hole. The bar in NGC 1300 is one of the most impressive yet seen. It spans most of the galaxy’s diameter – about a hundred thousand light-years. That’s about the same size as the Milky Way. The stars in the bar are mostly old and yellow. The stars in the spiral arms are younger and bluer. And more stars are being born there – adding to the beauty of this impressive galaxy. NGC 1300 is low in the southeast at nightfall, in the constellation Eridanus, the river. But you need a telescope to see it. Script by Damond Benningfield

Comet C2/2015 V2 Johnson was discovered by my Catalina Sky Survey teammate Jess Johnson on November 3, 2015. It travels on a hyperbolic path around the Sun which is highly inclined to the plane where the planets and most of the asteroids travel. Jess's comet's path takes it from deep space into the inner solar system slightly further from the Sun than the planet Mars. Although it will not get closer to the Earth than about 75 million miles it may out gas enough material to make it visible to the naked eye. Observers in the northern hemisphere will have their best chance to view Comet Johnson in April and May of 2017 while those south of the equator will be able to observe it until early 2018. Jess's Comet will come closest to the Sun in June of 2017 and then be slung into deep space by the Sun's Gravity. In February of 2037 Jess's comet will be further than Pluto's average distance to the Sun and be invisible to human telescopes as it moves in the direction a star 417 light years away in the constellation of Eridanus. It will take more than 12 million years to get to the vicinity of that distant star.

Auch über uns gibt es einen Fluss: das Sternbild Eridanus. Der himmlische Strom fließt nach Mitternacht über den Südosthimmel, rechts unterhalb von Orion. Obwohl sehr groß, ist das Sternbild eines der unbekanntesten. Dabei erinnert es an ein Drama. Lorenzen, Dirk www.deutschlandfunk.de, Sternzeit

It's been a quarter of a century since astronomers discovered a planet orbiting the star Epsilon Eridani, a close neighbor. Since then, various teams have spent hundreds if not thousands of hours observing the system. Yet there's still not complete agreement on the planet's details. There wasn't even agreement that the planet even existed until the past few years. Epsilon Eridani is 10 and a half light-years away; only eight systems of true stars are closer. The star itself is a bit smaller and lighter than the Sun, and only a third as bright. It's also much younger than the Sun. And that's one of the complicating factors in studying the planet. Young stars rotate much faster than middle-aged stars like the Sun. That creates big magnetic storms, and a strong “wind” of charged particles. That activity changes the star's brightness, and the motions of the gas at its surface. One way astronomers study exoplanets is to see how they “tug” on their parent star. But when the star is especially active, that's hard to do. The planet appears to be similar to Jupiter, the giant of our own solar system. It orbits Epsilon Eridani once every 7.3 years. But astronomers continue to study it as they try to nail down the stats on this hard-to-study world. Epsilon Eridani is in Eridanus, the river. The star isn't all that bright, but it is visible to the unaided eye. It climbs into good view, in the east-southeast, by about 8 p.m.  Script by Damond Benningfield Support McDonald Observatory

A young boy seeks to make his mother proud by picking the pocket of a man whose fortunes no one has ever managed to steal, not even the master thieves. Genre: Fantasy   Excerpt: In the town of Pennyhaven, there was honor among thieves. For thieving was allowed, but only if done according to the strictest of rules, which were set by the Union of Thieves. The Union had a truce with the local constabulary to deal with any thief in town who did not abide by those rules. Their highest and foremost rule, for example, was that no living creature could be harmed by thieving. Their next highest rule was that only non-living objects may be stolen. And so on. Any aspiring thieves who broke the rules of the Union would never see membership, and would indeed be dealt with by the Union before the constabulary ever need step in.   What's the Word (that inspired the story)?I'm not sure. My notes are unclear. But it might be the name of the main character, “Eridanus.” It is the name of a constellation and a river god, and the river itself. The name is of Greek origin and means “early burnt.” This is for its connection to the mythical story of Phaethon, the son of the sun god, Helios. Phaethon stole his father's chariot—the sun—and recklessly rode it, causing mayhem until Zeus threw a thunderbolt at him, striking him down. Phaethon fell to his death, into the river Eridanus.

FUNDAMENTO de su EXISTENCIA Las Hipótesis Fundamentando la hipótesis de los universos paralelos, el principal argumento en contra de esta hipótesis fue la falta de evidencia observacional. Como respuesta, se sugirieron, en diferentes momentos de la historia; que los siguientes dos tipos de observaciones podrían constituir una evidencia de la existencia de los Universos Paralelos. Hipótesis del Punto Frío Una teoría era la del punto frío observado. Es decir, un punto de temperatura más baja, en la distribución de la radiación del fondo cósmico de microondas (CMB), ubicado en la constelación de Eridanus. Es el remanente de una colisión entre nuestro universo y otra "burbuja", o universo paralelo durante una fase inflacionaria temprana. Aclaremos que el CMB es la radiación electromagnética producida inicialmente en el rango visible del espectro electromagnético poco después del Big Bang. A medida que viajaba a través del espacio en expansión, su longitud de onda aumentó; este fenómeno se denomina desplazamiento hacia el rojo cosmológico. Ahora, se observa en el rango de microondas del espectro electromagnético. … Asimilemos el ensayo …

The end of the celestial river really isn't the end of the river. That's because the river has two stars with almost the same name — and both names mean “the end of the river.” Eridanus is in the south and southeast as night falls. It begins near Rigel, the bright star at the foot of Orion. It then makes as many twists and turns as most earthly rivers before reaching its first “end,” Acamar. After that, it keeps going until it reaches the final end, Achernar. From the United States, you have to be in Hawaii or far southern Texas or Florida to see that second ending. In fact, that's exactly why Eridanus has two endpoints. From the latitudes of ancient Greece, where the constellation was drawn, skywatchers could see only down to Acamar — everything else remained below the horizon. So Eridanus ended right there. Centuries later, though, European ships cruised into the southern hemisphere. Crew members saw a much brighter star down to the lower right of Acamar, so they added it to the outline of Eridanus. And they gave it a nearly identical name — giving the river a brighter end. Acamar is far to the lower right of Orion. It's only third magnitude — a fairly faint star that's hard to find without a chart. Achernar is several times brighter, so it's hard to miss — but only if you're south of about San Antonio or Daytona Beach. It stands due south, just a skosh above the horizon, a couple of hours after sunset.  Script by Damond Benningfield Support McDonald Observatory

Máte niekedy pocit, že tej rakoviny je akosi viac ako v minulosti? Nuž, možno to nie je iba pocit: isteže, radikálne sa nám zlepšila diagnostika. No nový výskum naznačuje, že pri našom dnešnom životnom štýle sa riziko rakoviny naozaj zvyšuje s každou ďalšou generáciou. Tento týždeň v podcaste Zoom zistíme, ako sa s každou ďalšou generáciou zvyšuje riziko rakoviny, dozvieme sa, že žiaci z chudobnejšieho prostredia bývajú závislejší od sociálnych sietí a pozrieme sa, ako fungujú i ako vlastne nefungujú diéty. Krátke správy z vedy: Astronómovia objavili dvojicu superzemí pri neďalekej hviezde. Slnko LP 890-9 je červeným trpaslíkom vzdialeným zhruba sto svetelných rokov v súhvezdí Eridanus. Planéta "c" v systéme dokonca obieha v obývateľnej zóne, a je tak ideálnym cieľom pre ďalšie pozorovanie Vesmírnym teleskopm Jamesa Webba. Ľudia si prispôsobili oslov niekedy pred 7-tisíc rokmi v Afrike. Naznačuje to skúmanie genómu stoviek moderných a dávnych oslov, ktoré ukázalo, kedy domestikácia tohto druhu prebehla. Somárov sme si prispôsobili najskôr vo východnej Afrike, odtiaľ sa následne rozšírili do Európy a Ázie. Študenti nie sú práve najideálnejším testovacím subjektom na behaviorálne experimenty. Tvrdí to nový výskum, ktorý sa pozrel na ich využívanie pri skúmaní hypotéz. Ukázal, že študenti a ich rozhodovanie nekopíruje presne všeobecnú populáciu, takže výsledky a ich dôsledky potom môžu byť skreslené. Prečo má Saturn prstence a prečo je taký naklonený? Nové vysvetlenie hovorí, že dôvodom môže byť chýbajúci mesiac. Výskumníci sa pritom domnievali, že príčinou môže byť Neptún, no nové modely ukazujú skôr na chýbajúce teleso: mesiac, ktorý Saturn roztrhal niekedy pred 160 miliónmi rokov. – Všetky podcasty denníka SME si môžete vypočuť na jednom mieste na podcasty.sme.sk. – Ak máte pre nás spätnú väzbu, odkaz alebo nápad, napíšte nám na podcasty@sme.sk – Všetky podcasty denníka SME nájdete na sme.sk/podcasty – Podporte vznik podcastu Zoom a kúpte si digitálne predplatné SME.sk na sme.sk/podcast – Odoberajte aj denný newsletter SME.sk s najdôležitejšími správami na sme.sk/suhrnsme – Ďakujeme, že počúvate podcast Zoom.

https://youtube.com/c/reybel17Después de regresar a Reach, los Spartans demostraron rápidamente que los aumentos superaban todas las expectativas, su cohesión en la batalla era increíble. Los Spartans fueron entonces comisionados con la orden de capturar al Coronel Robert Watts, líder Insurreccionista en el Cinturón de Asteroides de Eridanus. John dirigió a un pequeño equipo formado por Samuel-034, Linda-058, Kelly-087 y Frederic-104, que logró infiltrarse en la base de asteroides de los Insurreccionistas y capturar a Watts. John fue herido durante esta misión y, posteriormente, fue condecorado con el Corazón Púrpura.

If you're a mighty Greek hunter who's tired from being out with the dogs all day, then it probably feels pretty good to put your feet up. And fortunately for the celestial hunter, the people who drew the early constellations provided a convenient footstool. Orion the hunter is well up in the east and southeast as night falls. Look for his three-star belt aiming almost straight up from the horizon. His foot is to the right of the belt — the blue-white star Rigel. A fainter star stands just above Rigel. It's known as Cursa — from a longer name that means “the footstool of the Central One” — the Central One being Orion himself. Yet the footstool doesn't belong to the constellation Orion at all. Instead, it's one of the brighter lights of Eridanus, the river. It's a long, faint ribbon of stars that meanders far to the right and lower right of Orion. Cursa is about 90 light-years away — much closer than Rigel. It's roughly twice as big and heavy as the Sun. And it's classified as a stellar giant. It's used up the original hydrogen fuel in its core, causing its outer layers to begin puffing up like a balloon. Over time, it'll ignite a new series of nuclear reactions, which will make it get much bigger than it is now. It'll also get much brighter, and it'll get cooler, which will make its surface shine yellow, then orange. All of those changes will make the footstool even more impressive than the foot it's there to support.  Script by Damond Benningfield Support McDonald Observatory

Aside from a few stray cases, such as that of Elizabeth Klarer, and the roadside encounter of a disc shaped object by two constables in Pretoria, the UFO was an unfamiliar sight in South Africa. That all changed in 1972 when "Bennie" Smit opened fire on a strange egg shaped object skulking around his farm. The shots heard 'round Braeside farm led to a wave of UFO activity that caught the attention of those that lived in The Republic of South Africa.

Even on a dark, moonless night, away from the glow of the city, some regions of the sky look dark and empty. One of those regions is the celestial sea — a connected set of constellations with aquatic themes. It ripples across the south on autumn nights. Right now, the most prominent member of the sea is Capricornus, the sea goat — but not because of the constellation itself. Instead, the giant planets Jupiter and Saturn are passing across it. Some of the stars of Capricornus outline a wide triangle, which is in the south at nightfall. Jupiter is at the left point of the triangle, and looks like a brilliant star. Saturn is at the right side of the triangle. Saturn isn't as bright as Jupiter, but still brighter than the stars around it. Faint Aquarius is to the left of Capricornus, with Piscis Austrinus, the southern fish, below them. It contains the brightest true star in the entire sea: Fomalhaut, the autumn star. Pisces, which represents two fish tied together by their tails, stretches from southeast to east. Like Aquarius, it's especially faint, so you need dark skies to see just about any of its stars. And below it, Cetus, the whale or sea monster, is surfacing into view. One more watery constellation flows into view later on: Eridanus, the river. It consists of a winding trail of stars that extends all the way to the corner of Orion — a bright constellation that will highlight the bright night sky of winter.  Script by Damond Benningfield Support McDonald Observatory

We (eventually) judge the book The Napoleons Of Eridanus by Pierre Barbet. In this episode we are joined by our first ever guest! Tino Fera! We chat about life, being hot, wet man voices, doing character voices, Candace's gold teeth dreams, wearing masks, eating onions, eating hot sauce, death sports, so many new death sports, The Running Man, songs that floored us, and then we talk about space Napoleon. Join us!

太陽神對著冥河（River Styx）發誓，答應兒子任何的要求時，年輕人毫不猶豫地說：「我要代替您駕著您的馬車，在天空走一回。」但是沒有一個凡人，甚至除了太陽神之外，沒有天神能駕著馬車走這一趟崎嶇路。他希望年輕人能夠收回他的要求。而且沒有時間去說服他了，東方已經露出紫紅色，黎明女神已經打開了天門，年輕人跳上馬車，馬車開始狂烈地振動，這幾匹馬橫衝直撞，爬高時地上變得冰冷；下降時地面被燒成沙漠，從高山到平原、到谷底，到處都著火燒了起來。 最後天帝宙斯用閃電，把馬車打得粉碎，年輕人全身是火，掉到伊力丹納河裡（Eridanus）。 這個故事的教訓是：不可以不自量力、做能力不及的事；還有爸爸溺愛兒子，也會帶來不可收拾的後果。

Today I'll be covering the constellation Taurus, its decans: Orion, Eridanus, and Auriga. Together, we'll pour over scripture as we learn about the coming Judge, get the full circle explanation of Virgo's branch and rejoice in the promise of a Great Shepherd. I'll also share a bit about recurring dreams. Don't miss this episode!

Episodio 29. * Primera observación de invierno, y casi seguramente la última de 2016. Lo que es seguro es que sí que es el último episodio colgado este año. Observación de cielo profundo con el dobson de 400mm. Salvo algún test inicial para catar el cielo, son todo galaxias. Es lo que me pedía el cuerpo y lo que sugería la ausencia de luna, nubes y viento. Llego al lugar de observación tal vez un poco tarde, con noche ya cerrada con el planeta Venus brillando de un modo rabioso que casi molestaba a la vista sobre el horizonte SurOeste. Subiendo el puerto de montaña la temperatura es de unos 3 grados, que suben a cinco grados cuando llego pero que no tarda mucho tiempo en bajar un par de grados en una hora o dos. Es una temperatura que es muy soportable porque apenas hay viento. No se oye ningún tipo de animal y casi tampoco se ven. Los únicos seres animados son algún ratoncillo, tres o cuatro, que se han dejado ver por la carretera de llegada. De los objetos mencionados en el episodio, estos son los que observé con mayor o menor intensidad: Nebulosas M42, M43 en Orion; NGC1999 en Orion —> Hay un pequeño artículo monográfico, con su correspondiente audio de apenas cuatro minutos, en el blog: http://nestorgm.com/astronomia/ngc-1999/ Galaxias M31, 32 y 110 en Andromeda.

La constelación de Erídano, Eridanus en latín, es una de las más grandes de la bóveda celeste. En la mitología griega, el Erídano era uno de los cinco ríos que cruzaban el Hades; el río en el que se ahogó Faetón, hijo de Helios, el conductor del carro solar. Achernar, o alfa Eridani, es la estrella más brillante de la constelación de Erídano, y la novena de todo el firmamento. Una estrella observada desde lejanos tiempos que plantea preguntas sin respuesta.
