The Hubble telescope has captured slow-motion fireworks in space
Although the timing of the latest image from the Hubble Space Telescope coincides with the upcoming July 4 holiday, the cosmic fireworks captured in it have been unfolding over two centuries.
The source of the show is 7,500 light-years from Earth in the double star system Eta Carinae, which is in the Carina or Ship's Keel constellation. The Great Eruption, a gigantic explosion, happened in the system in 1838. This caused it to be the second-brightest star in the sky during April 1844. Only Sirius, a star a thousand times closer to us, was brighter. At the time, Eta Carinae could even be used for ships navigating the southern seas.
