NASA's 2022 #AstrophotoChallenges is almost here! This year's target is the mysterious Eta Carinae, once the second-brightest star in the sky. Find out what happened and how YOU can visualize it with @MicroObs tools at the May 3 #AskTheAstronomersLive. UniverseUnplugged.org
This banner image for the May 3 Ask the Astronomers Live chat show has a background of a visualization of the Eta Carinae, also known as the "Bipolar Nebula" because it split into two bubbles that are expanding away from each other as it erupted. The image also features headshots of show host Phil Lamarr and guests Drs. Rutuparna Das and Nathan Smith. The show title is "Image Your Own Erupting Star."

How do astronomers find planets in star systems...without even seeing them? Host @FeliciaDay and friends explore where people and planets came from as we channel-surf through the galaxy in the Astrophysics Variety Hour! #AstroVariety youtu.be/6LVWqPMmf0g
A composite of six still images from the 35-minute Astrophysics Variety Hour, a series of educational videos on finding and characterizing exoplanets. The show features Felicia Day as the host, an original song by Rachel Bloom, segments featuring Wil Wheaton, and many other friends of NASA’s Universe of Learning. Longer segments (3-4 min.) are tied together with humorous channel-surfing interstitials.

Some stars are famous for their outbursts. Eta Carinae's Great Eruption in the 1840s expelled 10% of its mass and created a nebula that continues to expand almost two centuries later. A 3D #astroviz uses @NASA data to show and tell the star's story. universeunplugged.ipac.calte…
