Iot
Its story
Iota Eridani is an orange giant set along the long, winding course of the river Eridanus. With barely thirty percent more mass than the Sun, it has swollen to eleven times its radius: a likely future of the Sun itself, glimpsed from one hundred and fifty light-years away, in the midst of helium-burning at its core.
