highlighting the Homunculus Nebula and the Eta Carina star system in great detail. The Very Large Telescope Interferometer allowed astronomers to see new and unexpected areas within the binary ...

A binary star as a cosmic particle accelerator Evidence of very high-energy gamma radiation from Eta Carinae Date: July 1, 2020 Source: Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron DESY Summary: Scientists ...

The Homunculus Nebula on the left lives inside Carina and was created by material ejected from the tumultuous binary star system Eta Carinae, while the near-infrared image on the right shows a new ...

The zone between the two stars where the winds from each collide is very turbulent, but until now it could not be studied. The power of the Eta Carinae binary pair creates dramatic phenomena.

Like Beta Lyrae, Algol is a binary star, a system of two stars ... and most puzzling stars in the Milky Way. Eta Carinae, about 8,000 light-years from Earth, was classified as a variable star ...

Takahashi and his team were interested in Eta Carinae, a binary star system 7,500 light years away from Earth. The two stars are massive - one is thirty times heavier than our sun, the other ...

With a specialized telescope in Namibia a DESY-led team of researchers has proven a certain type of binary star as a new kind of source for very high-energy cosmic gamma-radiation. Eta Carinae is ...

That interaction birthed the present-day binary system, which could have started out as a three-star system. Someday, Eta Carinae will undergo a real supernova explosion, the researchers said in ...

Eta Carinae, an enigmatic star that has mystified astronomers for 160 years with both its sheer beauty and massive size, is repeating a roughly five-year cycle of pumping out X rays. This finding ...

producing a single extremely massive star like the more massive member of the Eta Carinae binary system. Eta Carinae is one of the most massive and luminous stars in the Milky Way Galaxy ...

Death and new life meet in a photo showing off a nebula located 7,500 light-years away. The Carina Nebula — recently photographed by the VISTA telescope in the Southern Hemisphere — is a 300 ...

Eta Carinae, the fire opal wonder of the southern skies, currently shines as a 4th-magnitude star system nested in the vast Carina Nebula. It is one of the seven wonders of the deep southern skies.
