One of the southern constellations, Eridanus.
The constellation Eridanus is one of multiple others observable in the northern night sky. It consists of 30 main stars and a total of 39 Bayer designated stars. The stars that form the, as in-game shown, river are α Eridani (Achernar), β Eridani (Cursa), γ Eridani (Zaurak), δ Eridani (Rana), ε Eridani (Ran), η Eridani (Azha), θ1 Eridani (Acamar), ι Eridani, κ Eridani, μ Eridani, ν Eridani, ο1 Eridani (Beid), π Eridani, τ1 Eridani, τ3 Eridani, τ4 Eridani, τ5 Eridani, τ6 Eridani, τ8 Eridani, τ9 Eridani, υ1 Eridani, υ2 Eridani (Theemin), υ3 Eridani (Beemim), υ4 Eridani, χ Eridani, e Eridani, g Eridani, s Eridani, y Eridani and π Ceti (part of the neighbouring constellation Cetus).
When Eridanus is fully unlocked the Stardust production speed is increased by x1.5 for Interstellar Objects.
In-Game Description[]
In-game icon
"Eridanus, The River, is the longest constellation in the sky. It starts near Rigel and twists and turns all the way to its brightest star, Achernar (“River’s End” in Arabic). It was named after Eridu, an early Sumerian city in the marshes of what is now southern Iraq."
