Wishing on a Star.

I'm sure I'm not the only one that makes this wish...

It's due to go bang any second now - any "universe second" that is. The trouble with that is a universe second can be many millions of Earth years lol. But yes it would be interesting. If Betelgeuse went bang it would light up our night sky for weeks as it slowly faded.

There is of course a fair chance that its already gone bang, but it may be some time before the light reaches us

I think it's all just one big conspiracy by NASA, I sat up for hours last night waiting for to go bang! ?
