Eta Carinae is a sixth- magnitude star located between 8,000 and 10,000 light-years away in the constellation Carina (the keel) which lies in the southern hemisphere. It was first cataloged in 1677 by astronomer extraordinaire Edmund Halley.

Origin of the constellation: Ancient Greece (Ptolemaeus) - as Argo Navis! In 1752, Lacaille separated the huge ship into three smaller constellations, Carina being one of them.
Carina also contains Eta Carinae. A century ago, Eta Carinae abruptly brightened to an apparent magnitude of -0.8 and was, briefly, the second brightest star in the sky.

One of the largest of these constellations, Argo Navis, was split into 4 smaller constellations Carina (the Keel), Puppis (the Stern), Vela (the Sails) and Pyxis (the Ship's Compass) by Lacaille in the 1750s.
Stars like Eta Carinae and the ``Pistol star'' are examples of these supermassive stars. The picture of Eta Carinae below shows two dumbbell-shaped lobes of ejected material from the star in an earlier episode of mass ejection.
To the right is the unusual star Eta Carina. Actually, the star is buried in the center of the two bubbles, which are thought to be from an eruption that occurred in 1847. Follow this link to see how the bubbles formed.
[43] The existence of other stars changing in brightness gave credence to the idea that some may change in colour too; Sir John Herschel noted this in 1839, possibly influenced by witnessing Eta Carinae two years earlier.
