A massive, eruptive white dwarf star in the Milky Way long overdue for its next periodic eruption is closer to our solar system than previously thought and could threaten the Earth if it fully explodes millions of years from now. Contradictory statements. May not be millions of years from now - could be any day.

What cracks me up is how people just don’t get it...LOL. There is very little we can do to protect ourselves in the very rough neighborhood that we live in.
There are an unlimited amount of things that could happen to the earth even in the next 1,000 years that we have absolutely no control over.
Man is so arrogant!

Millions of years from now? Who gives a crap?
To: plain talk
Upon further read I see the distinction now and withdraw my earlier post.

One need only look at January 20, 2009 for a perfect example.

“If it explodes in 10 years well only have 3,260 years to go. (Its 3,260 light years away)”
But what if it exploded 3258 years ago (and the Aztecs saw it).

It’s just an isolated extremist. Tell it we’re considering sanctions.

could threaten the Earth if it fully explodes millions of years from now On a well constructed Karnaugh map ... this would be the equivalent of a "dc".

We’re not necessarily doomed. Algore has devised an intersteller cap and trade sysem of gamma radiation credits, which would cap the amount headed our way!

I love these great photographic manageries of incredibly large space images, portraying the massive universal events as they approach to vaporize all life off the planet Earth. Just amazing photography!

How could a star explode more than once?
Sounds like a question for Dr. Michio Kaku to answer.
