Default Visible echoes reprise 19th century spectacle

Visible echoes reprise 19th century spectacle
http://www.sciencenews.org/view/gene...tury_spectacle


From 1838 to 1858, astronomers watched the binary giant star Eta Carinae erupt, shedding more than 10 solar masses of material and producing an oddly shaped, double-lobed cloud 7,500 light years from Earth. Scientists have thought a dense stellar wind fueled Eta Carinae’s outburst, and considered it the prototype for “supernova impostors,” or shorter-lived eruptions that don’t quite destroy a star.

But new observations of Eta Carinae’s Great Eruption suggest an explosion may have been its cause

Stars don't die as such,they evolve in a dramatic way like a phoenix
rising out of its own ashes.Stellar evolution has its own geometry to
it and when the day comes that this world has finished with the
empirical novelties of things that exist only in the imagination like
'black hole' or dark this and that,they can begin to investigate the
reasons why an evolving star displays a specific trait of two large
external rings and a smaller intersecting ring as Supernova 1987a -

The material for the planets in our own solar system and the material
of our bodies and all matter on Earth may have come from a progenitor
star that existed in another phase of its existence - our own Sun.

The reasoning is so intricate and involves a specific type of non-
periodic geometry that it has remained a private work for over 20
years other than a silly copyright back in 1990.

People hundreds of years ago had no possibility to figure out darkmatter. Remember how blessed we are. It was only in the 19th century that itwas discovered that the Universe consists of atoms. You racist mother isespecially blessed. [email protected] Astronomy Misc 0 October 10th 08 12:04 AM
