Well in reality, it would have exploded millions of years ago, and we’re just getting a glimpse now of what happened long ago.

Well, in reality since it is only bout 600 light years away if it had gone nova millions of years ago it would have been glimpsed millions minus 600 years ago, and would have long since disappeared from the visible starscape.
