Eta Carinae may be about to explode. Eta Carinae's mass - about 100 times greater than our Sun -
makes it an excellent candidate for a full blown supernova. Historical records do show that about 150 years ago
Eta Carinae underwent an unusual outburst that made it one of the brightest stars in the southern sky.
Eta Carinae, in the Keyhole Nebula, is the only star currently thought to emit natural laser light.
Now clearly visible are two distinct lobes, a hot central region, and strange radial streaks.
The lobes are filled with lanes of gas and dust which absorb the blue and ultraviolet light emitted near the center.
The streaks remain unexplained.

END OF TRANSMISSION 7/20/06 .......... K
Excellent -- Thank you for your informative post.
You're right. Unless maybe it's Prince Charles. They look exactly alike :-)
OBL's words, 'You love life, we love death.'
Hezbollahs should be real happy.
When I first saw that picture I thought someone had Photoshopped Kerry in it - no joke! Too funny....
I'm so glad to see the IDF and IAF cranked up and taking care of bidness.
So has anybody seen Numbnuts Nazzy lately?
Beautiful pictures and analysis, Dio. Thank you.
So many hide their faces, just like the KKK.
What's the word I'm looking for? Oh I know ... WOW!!!!
Continuing thanks for your work and commentary, Dio. You're a FR treasure. So glad you're back....
Nice to see that they are properly equipped at that "former" embassy. If the "former" embassy has a Ma Duece heavy machine gun and a medium machine gun, nicely sited too, what does the current embassy have? Claymores and TOWs?
Notice the "poor" Pali "refugee" kids taking pictures of the "Brave", somewhat over-aged looking, Warriors in their Black Bedsheets,
Well at least they finally got day jobs.
Must be like Halloween every day.
Thanks for the pictures. Very insightful!
