Though there is some debate as to the nature of the planet, there is nothing to actually suggest that Eridanus II was a gas giant; rather there is a separate gas giant in the system that [[Dr. Halsey]] used for a slingshot maneuver on her approach to the planet. She did mention "climate-controlled weather"<ref>''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]'', page 22</ref>, from which one might infer domed environments, although this does not necessarily suggest a world without a breathable atmosphere. | Though there is some debate as to the nature of the planet, there is nothing to actually suggest that Eridanus II was a gas giant; rather there is a separate gas giant in the system that [[Dr. Halsey]] used for a slingshot maneuver on her approach to the planet.

*Eridanus II was believed by some fans to be orbiting the real-life star [[wikipedia:Eta Eridani|Eta Eridani]]. However, Eta Eridani is 121 light years away from [[Earth]], and apparently outside the UNSC's sphere of influence. However, with Human ships being able to cross distances of 2.626 light years per day, it would only take 46 days to reach Eta Eridani. | *Eridanus II was believed by some fans to be orbiting the real-life star [[wikipedia:Eta Eridani|Eta Eridani]].
