Sadly the only sun explosion I have time to stop and watch is Sol. So if Sol is exploding I'm down to watch otherwise I have work.
"For information, that's my 8 minute notice, I quit"
"incidentally we all quit, as per my previous email RE: WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE!!"
I have the unfortunate role of informing you that the Sun will not explode. It will, in fact, expand to become a red giant, swallowing the Earth or at least vaporizing it in the process, and will eventually shrink down to become a white dwarf.
So sadly there will be no super nova or massive explosion, but I'm sure it'll be a pretty wild process to watch in about 5 billion years.
Come gather! Come gather! Let us morn earth with a traditional ballad.
