Star skimming: The first image of Epsilon Eridani

The mining of Sol for rare elements through the process of star skimming enabled the discovery of translight travel and the beginning of humanity's journey to the stars. This image, the first taken by a ship skimming a star other than Sol, shows the (United Earth Explorer) Hero's view of Epsilon Eridani as it prepares to stardive and replenish its fuel for the jump back to Sol's system.
