Its story

Epsilon Reticuli is a double system just 60 light-years away, in the small southern constellation of the Reticle. The primary is an orange K-type giant orbited by a giant planet, confirmed in 2000 by the Anglo-Australian team: a world of 1.56 Jupiter masses completing one orbit every 428 days at 1.27 astronomical units. Its fainter companion is a white dwarf, the quiet ember of another star.
