MrsMopar Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 Eta carinae - is a super massive star (about 100 times the mass of our sun) that is ready to explode as a super nova (ready being in the next 10,000 years). The star is dumping gas and dust to try and maintain gravitational and thermo nuclear balance. Some day gravity will win when this star goes super nova and a stellar mass black hole will likely form; potentially robbing us of the spectacular dust and gas show. (information given to me by an astronomy enthusiast) Little Nova (lower right) is patiently awaiting the event. http://community.webtv.net/MrsMopar60/EtaCarinaeandNova/ :-) Felicia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
