COSMIC MESSAGE

The Eta Carinae star system created the unusual Homunculus Nebula about 170 years ago. During an outburst, Eta Carinae became the second brightest star in the night sky, ejecting more mass than our Sun before fading. The Hubble Space Telescope captured images of this expanding nebula in 1995, 2001, and 2014.
