Recently, The Hubble Space Telescope caught one of the world’s most spectacular moment. A super massive star exploded recently and its explosion was like bright fireworks.

The star is called Eta Carinae, first erupted 170 years ago.

In the past, the star was visible with a naked eye. However, over time, the star has slowly faded and become harder to see with the naked eye.

But the Hubble has observed the star for 25 years, according to a statement by NASA. Here’s what NASA said,

“We had used Hubble for decades to study Eta Carinae in visible and infrared light, and we thought we had a pretty full accounting of its ejected debris,” Nathan Smith, a researcher at the Steward Observatory at the University of Arizona and lead investigator of the Hubble program, said in the statement. “But this new ultraviolet-light image looks astonishingly different, revealing gas we did not see in other visible-light or infrared images.”

“This extra material is fast, and it ‘ups the ante’ in terms of the total energy for an already powerful stellar blast,” Smith added.

Eta Carinae is generally known for their eruptions, which may be due to three stars being gravitationally bound within the same system, and will likely to explode in a supernova explosion, according to NASA.
