NASA discovers five ‘superstars’ in other galaxies NASA discovers five 'superstars' in other galaxies

For the first time, Five objects in other galaxies have founded which are parallel to Eta Carinae,the most luminous and massive stellar system within 10,000 light years of Earth and that using data from NASA’s Spitzer and Hubble space telescopes.

What is Eta Carinais?
It is the only object of its kind known in our galaxy that is expanding veil of gas and dust which is still covering Eta Carinae.

Highlights:

• These stars produce and distribute large amounts of the chemical elements vital to life and eventually explode as supernovae.
• The researchers found two candidate Eta twins in the galaxy M83
• One each in NGC 6946, M101, and M51
• Researchers developed a kind of optical and infrared fingerprint for identifying Eta Carinae twins.
