Astronomers have spotted a cosmic blast that dwarfs all others.
A gargantuan explosion tore through the heart of a distant galaxy cluster, releasing about five times more energy than the previous record holder, a new study reports.
"In some ways, this blast is similar to how the eruption of Mt. St. Helens in 1980 ripped off the top of the mountain," study lead author Simona Giacintucci, of the Naval Research Laboratory in Washington, D.C., said in a statement. "A key difference is that you could fit 15 Milky Way galaxies in a row into the crater this eruption punched into the cluster's hot gas."

Wait til the sun explodes!
I think I’ll give them a pass on starting with “Boom!”...
wait till Trump wins in a landslide 2020
He is out there in the ether somewhere other than on this planet.....
You win post of the day.
Uh, actually it’s nothing like a volcanic eruption at all. Not even close, and I think that’s a stupid comparison to make.
OOPS!.....Sorry, I had burritos for lunch................
It was totally silent......................
Was it a gaseous explosion from the soft core of Uranus?
Why should the Sun explode? It will become a red giant and devour the Earth in the process, but it won’t explode because it isn’t massive enough.
Hey great! They can all come back and star in The Gargantuan Explosion Theory!
Sure have missed them...
But deadly no doubt, and the autopsies determined the cause was the a totally new coronavirus that has not been seen before. 8>)
Our sun will most likely expand to become a red giant (engulfing an already charred earth), then contract into a "cold" white dwarf star [1].

A key difference is that intergalactic gas is a lot less dense than the Earth.
Isn't there anything we could do about that?

Yes, there is.
Elect the communist so that he can increase our taxes and make the fed gov force the sun to remain static.
