Comments on: Eta Car: tick tock, tick tock http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2007/06/20/eta-car-tick-tock-tick-tock/ I am an astronomer, writer, and skeptic. I likes reality the way it is, and I aims to keep it that way. My real name is Phil Plait, and I run the Bad Astronomy blog.

I think that a theoretical black hole with a zero angular momentum would not produce the GRB jets but rather it would spread out the GRB in a spherical 3D pattern..

That "path" is the only "corridor" left for the gamma ray to scape from the black hole field of attraction just before the singularity forms, or just out of the horizon of events, I think...Please correct me who know a better explanation..

Pode ser amanhã ou daqui por 10000 anos. Os astrónomos estão entusiasmadíssimos que isso aconteça. As imagens no céu serão espectaculares! O céu ficará muito mais azulado, pontos brilhantes no céu semelhantes a fogos de artifício aparecerão, o brilho será tão forte como uma Lua Cheia, durante o dia ver-se-à perfeitamente o brilho da implosão/explosão, e à noite poderá se ler facilmente um livro ao “luar” de Eta Carinae.

What other kinds of radiation are dispersed during supernovae and what are their effects?
