Results for eig function

The code:

format short;
A=[13 14;
    29 30];
B= A^10;

disp(B);
C=det(B);
disp("Determinant is");
disp(C);
% That is approximately zero.

e=eig(B);
disp(e);

The output:

1.0e+16 *

      0.7195    0.7535
      1.5607    1.6344

Determinant is
   2.0499e+15

     1.0e+16 *

           0
      2.3539

What does the output value of the eig function mean? I thought it was supposed to be the eigenvalues. Does the 1.0e+16 * 0 mean actual multiplication?
