the eta Carina photo

[thinking]

any thoughts ?

I was hopping to supply a photo , but try as I might ( and I tried well over twenty times ) it just won't happen

I'm sure I'm just missing some little thing to paste this photo on this thread

but I'll be darned to know what that little thing is

any way I'm sure you can find this photo if you want too

again any thoughts ?

there are better photos

but nevertheless I appreciate the effort

This stunning image shows two lobes of expelled material and a disk of expelled material around the equator as well. This shape is known as the Homunculus Nebula.

Note that Eta Cariinae is currently much less bright as seen from Earth than it was in 1843, when it was the second brightest star in the sky, despite a massive distance of 8000 light years.

The star itself is entirely hidden by the surrounding nebula, and is probably at least double, one of the stars being a luminous blue variable in the last stages of its lifetime.

Note also that the axis of the star is pointed well away from Earth, so even if the star exploded as a gamma-ray burster, the main beam would miss our system by thousands of light-years.

Here's a 'Where's Wally' type image;
Eta Carinae is in this image- can you see it?

(hint: look 1/5th of the way along the image from the left hand side, and half way up)

Yes indeed, it made humans!:)

At times ?

Bah !

the interesting about eta Carina is that it reminds me of a quantum graphic

in the picture book of Quatum Mechanics ( third edition by Siegmund Brandt and Hans Dieter Dahmen ISBN # 0-387 - 95141-5 or # 9-780387 -951416 ) pg, 263

sees that the graphic of the hydrogen atom is the same ( of course without the energy dynamics ) as the photo of Eta Carina

[thinking]

my point is that it seems to me that the micro , quantum mechanics , is also being expressed in the macro

its just we have to connect the two , macro with micro

the evidence is there , its just for know we havn't been able to connected the dots so to speak
