The surface temperature of Eta Carinae is 40,000 Kelvin, and it shines with much of its radiation in the ultraviolet spectrum. ... So, remember, blue stars are blue because of the temperature of their surface. And they're so hot because blue stars are much more massive than cooler stars like our Sun.
