Eta Carinae (η Carinae, abbreviated to η Car), formerly known as Eta Argus, is a stellar system containing at least two stars with a combined luminosity greater than five million times that of the Sun, located around 7,500 light-years (2,300 parsecs) distant in the constellation Carina.
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.

Its most luminous members are Eta Carinae and WR 25, with both having luminosities several million times that of the Sun, and there are three other extreme stars with O3 spectral classes. [2] Both Eta Carinae and WR 25 are binaries , with the primary stars contributing most of the luminosity, but with companions which are themselves more ...

NGC 2363-V1 is one of the most luminous stars known. It has been undergoing an increase in temperature and luminosity for the last 20 years, after a dramatic increase in its rate of mass loss. Significant luminosity variation within a human lifetime is rare in LBVs, e.g. Eta Carinae during its Great Eruption
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.
