Chandra X-ray Observatory | Eta Carinae: 3D Models @ChandraXray | Uploaded 2 years ago | Updated 2 hours ago
This visualization showcases the multiwavelength emissions and three-dimensional structures surrounding Eta Carinae, one of the most massive and eruptive stars in our galaxy.
Two of NASA's Great Observatories, the Hubble Space Telescope and the Chandra X-ray Observatory, have observed Eta Carinae using visible, ultraviolet, and X-ray light, as well as in the Hydrogen alpha emission line. These 3D visualizations have been modelled by astronomers and artists to bring the telescope images to life.
NASA's Universe of Learning materials are based upon work supported by NASA under cooperative agreement award number NNX16AC65A to the Space Telescope Science Institute, working in partnership with Caltech/IPAC, the Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian, and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
