This has got to be the greatest once in a lifetime event.
The Earth could soon have a second sun, at least for a week or two.

Thats been going on for a while now, no-one can predict when it will go but at some point it will.

Its a fair way from us down here, so in reality, it could already have exploded, we just don't know it yet :)

If you have some binoculars take a look at it, its the orange one to the south just above orions belt.
