Could Eta Carinae explode soon? Scientists have noticed that it is pumping out X-Rays every 5.52 years, which means it will do so again in the Nothern Hemisphere summer of 2003, then winter of 2008/2009, then summer 2014.

Anyone looking at it can sense that it is soon to blow, and possibly directly affect us, or trigger something else.

But now, for the first time, jets have been observed from a spiral galaxy. And guess what type of galaxy we live in???
