I forgot to mention in my previous post (or maybe someone else
did.. I'm not on the list) that "epsilon something" is a very common
name for a star- being typically the approx. 4th brightest star in a
stellar constellation (alpha- 1st brightest, beta- 2nd, delta- 3rd,
epsilon- 4th...). For example, alpha Lyrae is the brightest star
in the constellation Lyrae.
