Eta Carinae is pretty far south, mostly invisible in the northern hemisphere, but high in the southern sky.<br /><br />So far as I can tell, nothing all that bad happens to the survivor. It may become a &#39;runaway&#39; star, hurtling off into the void at its formal co-orbital speed.Rickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16932015378213238346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7494544263897150929.post-2552975699901571462009-12-05T21:10:29.506-08:002009-12-05T21:10:29.506-08:00A possible 100 stellar mass star potentially going supernova in our lifetimes!<br /><br />Get the lawn chairs ready, this one is going to be good.<br /><br />By the way, two massive stars orbiting at less than 1 AU from each other has to be pretty impressive.
