This solitary dwarf star (3.7 mag) is essentially similar to our Sun in size, spectral type, and luminosity. It has a small rotational velocity, suggesting the possibility of having planets around it. ε Eri is the third closest star, visible to the naked eye at a distance of 10.76 light-years. Radio telescopes are monitoring it in search of potential signals from a civilization that could potentially inhabit one of the presumed planets.
