description Azha Overview
Azha is the traditional name of Eta Eridani, a star in the constellation Eridanus. It is an orange-hued K-type giant located roughly 130 light-years from Earth, meaning it has exhausted the hydrogen at its core and expanded beyond the main-sequence stage. Its Arabic-derived name is traditionally interpreted as referring to an ostrich's breeding place, and the International Astronomical Union recognizes Azha as the star's proper name.
