The Carina Nebula. η Carinae is the brightest star, on the left side. Mass loss is one of the most intensively studied aspects of massive star research. Put simply, calculated mass loss rates in the best models of stellar evolution do not reproduce the observed properties of evolved massive stars such as Wolf–Rayets, the number and types of ...
The Cosmic Cliffs at the edge of NGC 3324, one of the first images taken by the James Webb Space Telescope. The Carina Nebula [7] or Eta Carinae Nebula [8] (catalogued as NGC 3372; also known as the Great Carina Nebula [9]) is a large, complex area of bright and dark nebulosity in the constellation Carina, located in the Carina–Sagittarius Arm of the Milky Way galaxy.
Planetary Nebula M2-9, otherwise known as the Twin Jet Nebula or the Wings of a Butterfly Nebula, is a bipolar nebula.. Homunculus Nebula around Eta Carinae [4] [5 ...
The Homunculus Nebula is a bipolar emission and reflection nebula surrounding the massive star system Eta Carinae, about 7,500 light-years (2,300 parsecs) from Earth.The nebula is embedded within the much larger Carina Nebula, a large star-forming H II region.
For the first time, scientists captured a view of a colossal black hole violently ripping apart a doomed star from beginning to end using NASA's planet-hunting telescope. NASA's satellite known as ...
Eta Carinae became the second brightest star in the sky between 11 and 14 March 1843 before fading well below naked eye visibility. It has brightened consistently since about 1940, peaking above magnitude 4.5 in 2014. Eta Carinae is circumpolar south of latitude 30°S, so it is never visible north of latitude 30°N.
The star began spewing out matter at nearly light speed, releasing a tremendous amount of energy. Doomed star swallowed by black hole creates ‘incredibly bright’ flash, researchers say Skip to ...
Trumpler 16 (Tr 16) is a massive open cluster that is home to some of the most luminous stars in the Milky Way galaxy. It is situated within the Carina Nebula complex in the Carina–Sagittarius Arm, located approximately 9,270 ly (2,842 pc) from Earth. [1]
