A star in the constellation Eridanus, also known as Omicron Eridani.
From Arabic 'Beid', meaning 'in the shell' or 'in the egg', referring to the star's position in the constellation. Arabic astronomical nomenclature was preserved through medieval European astronomy.
Beid has one of the coolest planetary systems we know—it has at least three planets orbiting it, making it a multisystem worthy of science fiction attention, yet most people have never heard of it.
