Traditionally stars just burn out. Judy Garland, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, the list goes on.

To God, there is no such thing as a day.

Given the distance of 5,500 light-years, it didn’t just explode, it exploded 5,500 years ago. Just sayin.

I’m guessing you mean that to God, “time” is irrelevant.

Okay. It's somewhat of a fine point. To God, it is always "now". The concept of a day is a man-made construct. Now, to be sure, God put that concept into our sense of consciousness so we could keep track of seasons and when to hold festivals and whatnot to thank Him for the gift of life but, strictly speaking, there is no such thing as a day to Him.

What we call a day is when The Earth revolves once and it appears that the sun has risen and set. But that's just a matter of perception. God did not create the sun until the fourth "day". So, whatever a "day" was before than can only be known to and understood by God.

But feel free to enlighten me if the case is otherwise. It's been only in the last three years or so that most of what I have been taught in church and by my fellow Christians about God in the previous 35 years or was wrong. If I am wrong about this, please set me straight.

Mmmmm. Yeah. I guess in a way I kind of am. I'm not sure at what speed Jupiter revolves (or if it revolves at all), but, at whatever speed that is, it's most likely different than the speed that at which Earth revolves. So, in that case, what would God consider a day since He created Jupiter as well?

SN 1006 recorded as casting the light of a quarter moon, about sixteen times the brightness with about three times the apparent diameter of Venus.

There are predictions that neutrinos should have been detected. So far no news on this.
