About this 3D model

Author/Origin: Steffen, Teodoro, Madura, et al. MNRAS 2014Relevant Mission: Nebula In the middle of the 19th century, the massive binary system Eta Carinae underwent an eruption that ejected at least 10 times the sun's mass and made it the second-brightest star in the sky. Now, a team of astronomers has used extensive new observations to create the first high-resolution 3-D model of the expanding cloud produced by this outburst. https://nasa3d.arc.nasa.gov/detail/eta-carinae-homunculus-nebula
