Eta Carinae, Hubble image
Eta Carinae. False colour Hubble Space Telescope (HST) image showing the gas and dust clouds around the giant star Eta Carinae. The smallest features seen here are about 15 billion kilometres across - the size of the Solar System. The gas and dust around the star came from a gigantic outburst observed about 150 years ago. The dust is seen in the two giant pink lobes of material. Closer to the star (centre), there is little dust so blue wavelengths of light are seen. Eta Carinae is about 100 times more massive than the Sun, and is located some 8000 light years from Earth

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the awe-inspiring beauty of Eta Carinae, a giant star located 8000 light years away from Earth. The false color Hubble Space Telescope (HST) image reveals the intricate gas and dust clouds surrounding this colossal celestial body. Spanning an astonishing 15 billion kilometers across, these clouds are comparable in size to our entire Solar System. The mesmerizing pink lobes of material represent the remnants of a massive outburst that occurred approximately 150 years ago. These two giant structures consist mainly of dust particles ejected during the event. In contrast, closer to the star's core at the center, there is minimal presence of dust, resulting in a striking display of blue wavelengths. Eta Carinae itself is an astronomical marvel, boasting a mass roughly 100 times greater than that of our Sun. Its immense power and luminosity contribute to shaping its surroundings and influencing stellar formation within its vicinity. As we gaze upon this extraordinary photograph, we are reminded of both the grandeur and fragility inherent in our universe. It serves as a testament to the ongoing evolution and explosive nature found throughout cosmology. This stunning visual representation invites us to contemplate star birth processes while igniting our curiosity about distant realms beyond our own planet's boundaries.
