A star that exploded into brightness nearly 200 years ago can now be explored in glorious, multi-wavelength detail. In a new video, a team of scientists modeled the Homunculus Nebula around the star Eta Carinae in three dimensions, enabling insight
The digital model - built from data from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope and Chandra X-ray Observatory - shows Eta Carinae in visible, ultraviolet and X-ray light.
Data from three space telescopes help tell the story of Eta Carinae's supernova explosion.
Eta Carinae, one of the brightest stars in the galaxy, exploded in 1840. The unusual outburst continued to burn across Earth's skies for over 50 years. Now, a century and a half later, astronomers assembled a 3D model of this fantastic explosion.
