When it forms a black hole, will we get sucked in?

[Veetina]

@ClubPenguinMovies123 by theory yes but by reality nobody knows!

Eta Carinae is 7.500 ly away from us ... if it become a black hole, it will not sucked us in. It's too far away.

eta carinae es la estrella que mas me ha impactado por esos brazos incandecentes que tiene a su alrededor es una maravilla de la creacion

@wesleysidney I can't wait to see it!!

@jsf926 it happened alread and the image will come to us in 2014 as a brasilian cientist say in his article aboult this star.

There's a good chance this star has long since gone super(hyper?)nova. It will take the light 7500 years to reach us and inform us that it has happened.

@TheRoyceanator Eta Carina is nearly 7,500 ly away from us, not 50 ly... SMH A black hole 50 ly away will not affect us; however, the supernova created by a star capable of generating a black hole will have killed us and any form of life around the star way before that.

@Veetina What are you talking about! Eta Carina is too far away from us. We will never get sucked in. Anyways the black hole formed by this star will not eat anything as long as the objects are not within the event horizon.

[TheRoyceanator]

@ClubPenguinMovies123 no, it wil not, its like 50 L.Y. away (witch is far!)

[TheRoyceanator]

@ clubPenguinMovies no, it will not pull us in cause its 50 or so LY away (witch is far)

@mokaska, so is one pulling the other apart? They must be orbiting each other very closely. Talk about mass loss!!

@marginallymental

At first they thought it's a single star, but now they think it's a star system.

The gas cloud makes direct optical observation impossible, so they had to use indirect methods. Now they belive that it's a binary system: the bigger one is 100 times and the smaller one is about 30 times more massive as the Sun.
