Even in the 2 million stardatabase for Celestia the unique Star Eta Car has not been recorded. I wonder why not. :?:

The famous brazilian astronomer Augusto Daminelli had predict it,many years ago,based in luminosities curves.I was in one of your lectures,at a brazilian astronomical meeting at Brotas,SP.
