FoxNews - Nearby Star May Be Getting Ready to Explode
FoxNews reports: "Bye-bye, Betelgeuse? The nearby, well-known and very bright star may soon explode in a supernova, according to data released by U.C. Berkeley researchers Tuesday."

Comment: Though this event would be of no direct consequence to our solar system, it would nonetheless be a spectacular sight, and probably would evoke all sorts of religious speculation.
