Eta Carinae is one of the most massive stars in our galaxy and is known for its “Great Eruption”. With giant bipolar plumes of material that formed when it exploded in the 1840s, the star has been observed in visible and ultraviolet light by the Hubble Space Telescope, and in X-ray by the Chandra X-ray Observatory. These 2D portraits have been modeled by astronomers and artists to create a 3D visualization that brings the telescope images to life. Credit: NASA, ESA, Joseph Olmsted (STScI), Dani

Join us on a flight to the massive star AG Carinae. One of the brightest stars in our galaxy, AG Car undergoes eruptions that have ejected a small nebula of gas and dust. This 3D model of the nebula is based on Hubble Space Telescope data. The emission from ionized gas glows red, while the dust reflects the light of the star and appears bluish-white.

Ever wonder how Eta Carinae got its unusual shape? This animation shows how it may have started—as a triple-star system—before one of the stars bulks up by taking most of the material from one of its siblings. The stars start to trade places and when two merge an explosion of epic proportions produces bipolar ejections from the giant star. The surviving companion star settled into an elongated orbit around the merged pair, passing through the monster star's outer gaseous layers every 5.5 years.

Keyhole Nebula 🔑 The "Keyhole" is only a small portion of the larger Carina Nebula, a tumultuous star-forming factory about 7,500 light-years away. The Carina Nebula is sculpted by the action of outflowing winds and scorching ultraviolet radiation from the huge, monster stars that lie within. Eta Carinae reigns near the heart of the nebula; it's a system of at least two stars, the largest of which (Eta Car A) is around 100 times as massive as our Sun and 5 million times as luminous.

Two decades of Chandra X-ray Observatory data in 18 seconds! In the 1840s Eta Carinae, a famous star system, experienced a huge explosion and ejected between 10 and 45 times the mass of the Sun. This new time-lapse sequence contains frames of Eta Carinae taken with Chandra from 1999, 2003, 2009, 2014, and 2020 as the stellar eruption from about 180 years ago continues to expand into space at speeds up to 4.5 million miles per hour.

Eta Carinae, the most luminous and massive stellar system within 10,000 light-years of Earth, is known for its surprising behavior, erupting twice in the 19th century for reasons scientists still don't understand. New findings include Hubble Space Telescope images and new 3-D models reveal never-before-seen features of the stars' interactions.
