With a little research, I found that the companion star in this variable star is 70 AU from it's star, even Pluto is only 39.5 AU from our star. It might explain the difference between the TOS and TNG reference to Mira. --TOSrules 12:18, Dec 3, 2004 (CET)

Well, its a possibility. Since they stated that Dytallix B is in the Mira system, but orbits Mira Antliae, this raises the point that Mira Antliae might be a new name for Mira's companion star. -- Captain Mike K. Bartel 13:08, 3 Dec 2004 (CET)

Especially since modern astronomy has confirmed Mira has a companion star (in the Mira system) called VZ Ceti, but we are unsure of its type, it could be dually named as Mira Antliae. This is how Dytallix B could orbit Mira Antliae (from the viewer), but still be in the Mira system, orbiting the red giant Mira (all from dialogue)-- Captain Mike K. Bartel 13:37, 3 Dec 2004 (CET)
