Astronomers have shown a real “hell” between the two stars-giants.
For the first time, astronomers were able to look into the heart of the star system in the milky way, which by all indications is a true hell.
Pictured below is ETA Carinae, a pair of star-giants that shines 5 million times brighter than the Sun. Part of a powerful light flux escapes in the form of stellar wind, which is light “blow” in a frenzied dance.
At the point between the two stars to meet each other face flows with a velocity of 12 millions of miles per hour, and heats the gas to tens of millions of degrees.
From this, he begins to emit bright light. This substance is known as the Homunculus nebula. It attracts the attention of astronomers at the present time. Scientists were able to discern the features of collision of two streams of incandescent gas, and in particular a radial structure, as a more subtle “wind” cuts into the dense flow of particles from other stars.
Using the interferometer, they could also precisely measure the velocity of the stellar winds. In the future it will help scientists to simulate the damped example of stellar systems and how they generate such powerful “space fireworks”.
