Achernar
Extremely flattened hot star and the brightest light of Eridanus. Rapid spin bulges the equator so much that the star looks almost oval. Look for it while tracing Eridanus on a dark night.
Gaia has no usable parallax for this star (common for bright multiples). Distance uses the Hipparcos parallax instead.
