Eta Carinae
The Eta Carinae, previously known as Eta Argus, has a luminosity five million times greater than the suns. The Eta Carinae has two stars and for examples we will name them η Car 1 and η Car 2. η Car 1 has a mass of about ~100 to 200 solar masses, which equals about 1.99 × 1030 in kilograms. η Car 1 also has a 60 to 800 solar radius, which is 6.957 00 × 108 meters. η Car 1 has a 5,000,000 Luminosity. η Car 1 has a temperature of 9,400 to 35,200 Kelvins, which in Fahrenheit is Kelvin multiplied by 9/5 minus 459.67. η Car 1 is less than 3 Million Light Years old.
The other star, η Car 2, has about a solar mass of 30 to 80. η Car 2 has a solar radius of 14.3 to 23.6. η Car 2 has less …show more content…
The Eta Carinae is the only star to produce ultraviolet laser emission. The second star is hot and is high in luminosity, the secondary is about 30 to 80 times as big as the sun. The gravity and the high radiation shows on how we will never be able to inhabit the planet, our neighbors. The Eta Carinae is such a big star or stars of our solar system that if you put it in the center of our system it would blind us and would stretch beyond Earth’s orbit. The Eta Carinae spews out material, in what is called “stellar wind.” They are slowly shrinking second by second. The Eta Carinae winds are smashing into each other at about 7 million miles per hour, making so that the heat of the gas is about 10 million …show more content…
The Eta Carinae is a hypergiant star that is super rare. The Eta Carinae is one of the highest masses that only ten other known masses, such as the Milky Way, which is over 250 times mass of the sun, have a higher mass that The Eta Carinae. The Eta Carinae for just a few weeks got the second brightest star in the night sky. The Homunculus nebula is what surrounds The Eta Carinae, which is made of gas and dust. The Eta Carinae is supposed to explode in the next million years. To give The Eta Carinae radius a good look, look as if you put it in the center of our solar system it would reach the orbit of Jupiter. The Eta Carinae temperature is estimated to be around 40,000 Celsius or 72,000 Fahrenheit, which is about 7 times hotter than our sun. The Eta Carinae is known for its weird and surprising behavior, it is labeled as the most luminous and massive stellar system within 10,000 light-years of earth. The Eta Carinae has erupted twice for reasons nobody knows to this day. The Eta Carinae is famously known because it is one of the most massive stars located in the Milky Way. The Eta Carinae has about 120 Sun´s worth of material. The Eta Carinae, both stars, gives about more than 5 million times more energy than the sun. The luminous output makes a look like a dazzling beacon at
