Do check out the excellent Nasa animation of a 1 million miles per hour ionized wind receding from a binary super star,Eta Carinae. (liquid smooth thermal imaging effect at 1:49 mins) .Put your settings to max
''Eta Carinae comprises two massive stars whose eccentric orbits bring them unusually close every 5.5 years. Both produce powerful gaseous outflows called stellar winds, which enshroud the stars'' ..
''the interaction of the two stellar winds accounts for many of the periodic changes observed in the system. The winds from each star have markedly different properties: thick and slow for the primary, lean and fast for the hotter companion. The primary's wind blows at nearly 1 million mph and is especially dense, carrying away the equivalent mass of our sun every thousand years. By contrast, the companion's wind carries off about 100 times less material than the primary's, but it races outward as much as six times faster.''
There was a giant eruption recently, some think Eta Carinae will go supernova, but no need to worry because its 7000 light years away but the wind would tare your space ship apart if you were sight seeing near by!
Have a great weekend everyone
