Eta Carinae: A Star On the Brink of Destruction

Eta Carinae has a mass of approximately 150 times that of the sun, and is about 4 million times brighter than our local star, making it one of the most massive and most luminous stars known. The red outer glow surrounding the star is composed of the very fastest moving of the material which was ejected during the last century's outburst, much of which is moving more than two million miles per hour.
The knots of ejected material have sizes comparable to that of our solar system.

This is the sharpest image yet from the Hubble Space Telescope of the mergining antennae galaxies. As the two galaxies smash together, billions of stars are born, mostly in groups and clusters of stars. The brightest and most compact of these are called super star clusters.

This image composite compares the well-known visible-light picture of the glowing Trifid Nebula (left panel) with infrared views from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope (remaining three panels). The Trifid Nebula is a giant star-forming cloud of gas and dust located 5,400 light-years away in the constellation Sagittarius.

Just so you know, all space pictures are real!!!

Interesting Finds....

With all of the chemical runoff introduced into nature it's no wonder that these new deformities are taking place.....
