It's about half way between the orbit's of Jupiter (
mars.sgi.com/worlds/CyberMarz/Jupiter/HTML/index.html
) and Ceres (
www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0004499.html
), judging by its year compared to theirs. That of course assumes it's parent's star masses what ours does, a dangerous bet. Hmmm. 85 percent of Sol's mass, according to
www.solstation.com/stars/eps-erid.htm
. That would push it's orbit out a tad towar's Jupiter's range. The star's a low metal being, meaning that it probably will have a hard time supporting its own life, even after it gets to be as old as Sol.
Don't mind me; I'm just mulling over the finding.
