Eta Carinae

Uh-huh.

Um, and especially, he's an expert in Eta Carinae-

Mm-hmm

... um, which is sort of this well-known, this well-studied, very massive star that had a, a famous eruption in the 1800s-

Yeah.

And-

There's something called the Homunculus Nebula, which surrounds Eta Carinae.

It's this, um- Sort of peanut shaped, um, lobes around the star, um, that we now know to be some kind of, um, hollow shell-

let's turn it on properly.

Further up on our scale we find a blue giant called Eta Carinae.

With a surface temperature of 40,000 degrees Celsius, this star is more than six times as hot as our sun.

The special thing about Eta Carinae is its one million times higher energy release.

If our sun was so hot, it would shine 5 million times brighter than it is now.

Heavy plasma outbreaks would regularly sink our planet.

All the plants that do not withstand so much sunlight would die out.

Well, at least we still had vegetables like lettuce, spinach and potatoes.

However, as I've said for a couple of years, I think, on your show and at least three or four years on my webinars and videos, there is a gamma ray effect because I told you.

1993, NASA noticed the supernovas and Betelgeuse star system and the Eta Carinae star system, those started hitting the Earth about three years ago.

And that also hits the Sun, and it causes coronal mass ejections that affect the Earth's atmosphere.

It causes the magma to get welled up.

And so it means, what's the chance it occurs, say, in the next decade? That could be one percent.

You're talking to an astronomer here who is waiting with bated breath for Eta Carinae to explode and, uh, Betelgeuse to do its thing, so.

I would love that.

[laughs] That's sort of where, that, that's sort of where I'm coming from, so these are-
