Zoom into Star AG Carinae | Hubble

Zoom into Star AG Carinae | Hubble

This video showcases a zoom into star AG Carinae.

The star is waging a tug-of-war between gravity and radiation to avoid self-destruction. AG Carinae is surrounded by an expanding shell of gas and dust—a nebula. The nebula is about five light-years wide, which equals the distance from here to our nearest star, Alpha Centauri.
