So like, the sun could have exploded just now and we wouldn't even know until we were all like exter

Worrying about the sun exploding is the same thing as worry about an airplane crashing through your roof and killing you, except it's even less likely.

 

At least the star VY Canis Majoris is supposed to explode within the next 1000 years (technically it could go off right now) and I'm not sure how, but the gamma rays from it could really fuck us all over.

 

I think you should freak out about that as it's incredibly unlikely but a possibility.

VY Canis Majoris

 

Oh my god I hate this thing.

[Megalomania]

If the sun exploded and we did not die because of the explosion, we would die because of the after effects, the lack of energy and light and such.

 

Yeah, but we would die from the explosion for sure. :thinking:

The sun has too little mass to be able to explode anyway.

Haha what?
