I'm studying the Carina Nebula!!! Eta Carina is actually the most massive star we know... but not the largest in diameter, which is of course what they were comparing. I guess Eta Carina gets no credit b/c it's not bloated.

Also, I had to comment, not *every* dot in the Hubble photo is a galaxy. The very bright ones (whose light goes out like a cross) are foreground stars. FYI.

A+ to the astronomy.
