Somewhere out there, in the cosmic distance, there are alien spheres …
And we will not talk about the now popular star KIS 8462852 in the constellation Cygnus (where "unnatural behavior" is recorded) and not even about the star EPIC 204278916 in the constellation Scorpio (whose anomalies are still natural - most likely). No, the Eta Carinae star system has been a mystery to astronomers for centuries. Scientists could not understand the reason for the changes in the brightness of the binary star, for example, a striking flash in the 19th century, very similar to a supernova explosion …
Astronomers from the University of Arizona (USA) found that Eta Carinae "flashed" at least two more times before the 19th century, but remained alive.
A star can go supernova in two ways. If the star is large enough, it will collapse on itself when it runs out of fuel. When the outer layers hit the core, the star explodes, “spitting out” the remains into the surrounding space. In the second case, the substance accumulates on the white "dwarf" until its layer becomes so dense that it causes an explosion.
No scenario works for Eta Keel. In the mid-1800s, the star system became so bright that it eclipsed the rest of the stars in the night sky and then faded again. Everything spoke of a supernova explosion - both the gas and the "debris" that created the Homunculus Nebula. But Eta Carinae did not die. It became very bright again in 1890, then in 1953, and sharply doubled in brightness in 1998-1999.
“This Carina is an impostor supernova,” says Megan Kiminky of the University of Arizona. "The star became very bright when it threw out a lot of material in the 1800s, but it is still here."
By measuring the movements of 800 gas bubbles ejected by the star system, scientists calculated the likely date of the explosions. A team from Arizona found evidence of two early pseudo supernova explosions - in the 13th and 16th centuries.
The researchers have determined that Eta Carinae is a binary system with two huge stars orbiting one another. The larger star of the system is in the last stages of its life. What are its incomprehensible outbursts and are not the "explosions" artificial - a consequence of the work of some supercivilization?..
