What’s that, Daddy?
Noncoplanar points of arithmetic-sequenced concyclic loci
of accelerated velocity variations...
but it looks too pretty to be math!
It is a massive star on the brink of destruction, my dear...
but...
On the brink of destruction it lies, my dear!
It’s explosions drawing ever so near
to the nests we nestle in on Earth right here...
4 million times brighter than our sun
(and 150 times as massive, too!)
They say such large objects are highly unstable
and are prone to a violent outburst or two...
like Uncle Bobby, Daddy?
Yes... err... Hush! (Daddy's on a roll!)
It will probably end its life real soon
as a supernova in 10,000 years
following the Ball-of-Light Particle Model-
with two lobes expanding in spherical-harmonics
destroying itself and its tiny companioncompletely...
Tiny companion? Like meeeeeeeee, Daddy?
hmm... yes... my dear,
a tiny companion that orbits around
and around and around it ever 5.5 years,
and the tiny companion even has its very own name...
'Thumbelina'?
Merrrrrrrwww... no, not ‘Thumbelina...’, my dear,
but 'Eta Car B'-
it is a Wolf-Rayet star, with the mass of 30 Sol’s,
give or take a Sol or two,
just a baby, compared to it’s mother...
Does the mother have a name, Daddy?
Yes, the name of this most rare and luminous,
massive and bright blue variable star, (or LBV),
is Eta Carinae A, mostly after the nebule it is in-
which is found in the Southern Hemisphere near the Southern Cross
in the constellation Carina and in the nebula of Eta Carina...
Daddy?
...Yes, dear?
Is 'nebeuooola' a house, Daddy? Is it? Is it like a house, Daddy?
Huh, is it, Daddy? Like our house, Daddy?
Mmmmm... house, yes, my dear...
a very large house, for Eta here
is one of the most massive stars in the galaxy...
As big as Aunt Millie, Daddy?
What?!!!
Does the house have a garage, Daddy?
Drrrrrrrmmmmm, it doesn’t need a garage, my dear...
as it is constantly exploding ejecta blobs,
so no garage could hold it for long, my dear...
I saw "The Blob"!
Yes, but he didn’t have dusty debris
in a large, thin equatorial disk
around a giant homunculus...
Sounds big, Daddy! If you were a star,
would you be this one, Daddy?
How can I be a massive star and the Sea of Tranquility, too, my dear?
Ohhhhhh...

lol thanks for the comment, Dragon Tamer
Sorry for being gone so long 
This is just adorable!! What a wonderful patient dad... I could see this kind of conversation happening between a father and daughter 
. It was still a very creative, and cute write. Good job!
