Firework that lasted for 150 yrs: NASA on pic of super-massive star Eta Carinae
The official Instagram page of NASA has shared the picture of Eta Carinae, a doomed super-massive star 7,500 light-years away that went through a "Great Eruption" in the 1840s that made it the second-brightest visible star in the sky for over a decade. "Have you ever seen a slow-motion firework show that lasted...over 150 YEARS?" wrote NASA.
