Eta Carina - The Brightest Star in the Milky Way

Click on image above to see the wide field version

Highly zoomed in to view the bright but unstable star Eta Carina and
its twin lobe hourglass shapped surrounding envelope of ejected material.
A series of jets of material can be seen eminating from Eta itself - they
look like faint diffraction spikes.


other sizes: small medium original auto
