How big is Eta Carinae?
Eta Carinae is actually a star system comprising of at least two massive stars.Eta Carinae A: Has a diameter about 3.3 x 109Km (If replaced with the Sun it would extend to the orbit of Jupiter)Eta Carinae B: Is about half that of Eta Carinae AHowever, it is difficult to be precise as both stars are contained within the Homunculus Nebula and they are shedding material at around the mass of the Earth each day.
What is the temperature of the eta carinae?
