dc.description.abstractCarinae is one of a kind: it is one of the most curious and enigmatic stars in our Galaxy. It is also an archetypal astronomical object that can be only fully characterized by studies across the entire electromagnetic spectrum - with something for everyone. At the time of writing (December 2005), NASA's Astrophysics Data System† lists 1131 papers which mention n Car in their abstracts, 427 of them written since 2000. I make no attempt here to review this huge corpus, but I hope to give an overall impression of why we might be interested in n Car and what we have learned about it to date, with a deliberate emphasis on observations made from South Africa.
