About Event
What happened to make the star Eta Carinae become the second brightest star in the sky in 1843? Why did it then dim over the next century and once again brighten? How can YOU take images of this star and its surrounding clouds using NASA’s robotic telescopes or create your own images using NASA data? Join us to hear the fascinating story of Eta Carina and how NASA’s Astrophoto Challenges gives you the opportunity to make a picture of this star and its surroundings.
