This magnificent picture was taken by the Hubble Space Telescope under ultraviolet light. The object is a star named "Eta Carinae", which is about 7,500 light-years away from the Earth. It is one of the most massive and brightest known stars. However, it doesn't look like a star in any way, right? This giant star is actually very unstable and has a history of eruptions. Scientists believe that this giant star will present a supernova explosion in the short future (at least thousands of years since now) ...

Although Eta Carinae is relatively close to the Earth, scientists estimate that this supernova explosion in the future will not create a substantial impact on the Earth. At that time, there may just be an extremely bright star displayed in the sky!
