Fission of Eta Carinae?

Post by Perry Cooper » Sun Mar 26, 2006 1:30 pm

Is it possible that that the mass of Eta Carinae is vibrating back and forth between its rotational axis and its ecliptic? Might it fission into two stars? Is man observing a slice of a phenomenon that has been encountered at an immensely differently scale?
