How did Eta Carinae survive a supernova?

Could the explosion have been a result of a pressurized zone between the outer core and convective regions of the primary star? If the secondary stars orbit plus the different physical aspects of the primary stars zones caused a difference in modulation between the zones at a point in time the waves within the convective and outer core regions would bash up against each other. Or maybe the frequency modulation just grew in strength throughout the prim star with each secondary orbit and eventually it broke out like a new star being stillborn from the primary? Sorry if that's morbid but I'm a creative writer so what can one do. Love the work LPA. Thanks for the cosmic info.

"The great star for seven days will burn, Cloudy will make two suns appear. The Big Mastiff will howl every night. When the great Pontiff will change terrain." (Nostradamus: Centuria II; Quartet 41) Current version: - "The great star" is a Supernova that will explode with overwhelming force ... The total duration of these events is usually one year, but its maximum brightness would be only seven days ... And put to choose, I would bow by Eta Carinae, the biggest star in real size of the Constellation of Carina (La Quilla). It has 150 solar masses and is accompanied by Eta Carinae B, of 90 solar masses ... According to astronomers they are about to make "Hipernova", the most impressive cosmic burst ... - It will shine a lot even during the day, despite the brightness of the Sun. Astronomers believe that this could happen soon, and "It will appear in the sky like two Suns" ... - "The Great Mastiff will howl every night": They are the Media, Written press, Internet, KZbin, Radio and Television that will not fail to report such an astronomical event day or night ... - "When the Pope must move away from Rome", for serious political events that will bring him to America ... Could he refer to his last trip? ... -There is a prophecy of Garabandal, in which the visionary Conchita González announces "The illumination of consciousness", which begins with a great brightness in the sky that predisposes people to see their own conscience and says that "It will be as if two stars collide ": The extreme brightness of the star will be so strong that the fear of death clearly shows good and bad actions committed throughout life ...

Christian's presentation was particularly good in this episode

[@stephenbedford1395]

The Carina Nebula including Eta Carina is one of my favourite targets when I use my telescope. And from where I live in Brisbane, Australia, it's already 45 degrees up in my southern sky (I just checked). My scope isn't powerful enough to see the Homunculus nebula but the star itself is pretty, sitting among the beautiful nebulous clouds. The whole nebula is easily visible to the naked eye and it's surrounded by several beautiful open clusters like NGC 3532. It would be awesome to see the star go supernova as it's only 7500 years away.

This is likely the most powerful, significant event in our part of the galaxy for quite some time. Planets like ours, down to the core, would have been shocked apart in blast waves that make anything we've ever witnessed insignificant. Colossal giant stars flying around each other, then almost being destroyed entirely by incomprehensible explosions that create stellar-level clouds, made of dozens of times the material of our sun being blasted outwards. The fact that it was nearly a supernova, but remained, is... simply mind blowing.

The magnesium is formed during nucleosynthesis, probably in a deeper shell than the nitrogen in the envelope.

[@LaunchPadAstronomy]

That's one possible source, but it's also possible that the star formed from a metal-rich cloud so the Mg might have already been present in the star's envelope. It's frustrating that we can't directly observe the stars to understand better, but maybe in a few hundred years the Homunculus will become transparent :)

[@alansilverman8500]

Hello Christian could you please tell me if this primary star was always 120 m of our sun or did it start out at it's birth relatively the same as the sun. I know that stars grow as they age and they go into their giant stages. But I'm very nieve when it comes to such things (star mass) I should have stayed awake for astronomy 😴 my bad.

[@albertperson4013]

Dear LPA, please study and present a video on "recurrent novae" so as to give a wider perspective on why stars can go "nova" without being destroyed. There are many papers published on this topic. Obviously, lighter materials, such as electrons, xrays, cosmic rays, etc travel faster (~sol) when emanating from a "nova" and the heavier materials such as protons and heavier elements, travel slower due to their mass. This explains why certain materials show up in different places in a dust cloud or nebula.

[@kovidphuloria9627]

Is James webb Telescope is going to observe this ? It would be so amazing 😀

[@Dragrath1]

Ah the Great Eruption also known as a supernovae imposter event is indeed fascinating with Eta Carinae A's eruption being the only one we have witnessed in our galaxy though it should be noted there is evidence for similar eruptions around other Luminous Blue Variable(LBV) stars If this eruption was quite different from the more distant examples what implications does that hold for these LBV eruption's as a whole?

[@LaunchPadAstronomy]

I guess that's the question then: How different was the eruption? Given that most giant stars form in multiple star systems, perhaps it's not impossible that it could have happened in a similar manner elsewhere?

[@Haryazz]

JWT?

[@brianjohnson5272]

My theory is the companion star got so close perhaps even grazing the Carona of the main star it caused the nebula by creating a third pole and in the ensuring chaos several solar masses were ejected. I also note that both are orbiting something else could a third star a neutron or heavy white dwarf be hidden in the nebula?

[@SMunro]

Binary?

[@aspiewithattitude3213]

Somewhere in 2021 it's expected that NASA will launch the "James Webb Telescope". Lets hope that we learn from the Eta Carinae if NASA points the "James Webb" to the nebula.

I think the evidence shows it’s Deff only one Star... maybe it’s because the northern polar region is spinning one way and the southern polar region is spinning in they other direction this could cause the gap in the middle. Notice how both ends located at each pole remains flat and not ballooned out, this might be due to its lower angular momentum at the poles compared to the equator regions before expansion.
