The blue inner part of the nebula is optical emission, powered by the collision of winds from Eta Carinae and its unseen companion. [3] Credit: Chandra Science Center and NASA. The archetype of such a colliding-wind binary system is WR 140 (HD 193793), which consists of a 20 solar mass ( M ☉ ) Wolf-Rayet star orbiting about a 50 M ...
During the footage, the southbound train's engineer was seen jumping clear of the locomotive immediately before the collision. [6] [7] October 9, 2006 – The Cactus Train Collision - A BNSF coal train entered an open switch on a spur track which had failed to be realigned, and collided with a stationary train. Both crewmen received minor injuries.
For example, the nearest star to the Earth after the Sun is Proxima Centauri, about 4.2 light-years (4.0 × 10 13 km; 2.5 × 10 13 mi) or 30 million (3 × 10 7) solar diameters away. To visualize that scale, if the Sun were a ping-pong ball , Proxima Centauri would be a pea about 1,100 km (680 mi) away, and the Milky Way would be about 30 ...
Mourners for the victims of the deadly aircraft collision above Washington, D.C. visited the crash site Sunday, ABC News reports. All 67 people who were on board both aircraft are presumed dead.
Simulated collision of two neutron stars. A stellar collision is the coming together of two stars [1] caused by stellar dynamics within a star cluster, or by the orbital decay of a binary star due to stellar mass loss or gravitational radiation, or by other mechanisms not yet well understood.
A mother of two young children was a victim of the fatal collision, according to a GoFundMe page set up on behalf of her family. Wendy Jo Shaffer leaves behind her 1-year-old, 3-year-old and ...

Artist's impression of neutron stars merging, producing gravitational waves and resulting in a kilonova. A neutron star merger is the stellar collision of neutron stars.When two neutron stars fall into mutual orbit, they gradually spiral inward due to the loss of energy emitted as gravitational radiation.
