Eta Carinae In the 19th century, Eta Carinae was for a time the third brightest star in the sky. It has now become less bright so that binoculars are needed to see it. It seems to be brightening and becoming less bright over a period of many years, said Dr Bob Duncan from the Australia Telescope National Facility. The problem in observing Eta Carinae is that it has been surrounded by a cloud of gas and dust, making it hard to see the star directly. However, radio waves and infrared light can pass through this cloud, so telescopes that receive these wavelengths can observe what is occurring.
