Cosmic cataclysm only really comes home to roost if you ask AI two questions:

1) How far away from our Solar System is the nearest star?

Answer: Alpha Centauri is 4.3 light years away

2) How many stars are within 20 light years of us?

Answer: 131, in 94 stellar systems (double or triple star systems (like Alpha Centauri)). This is the known count. Darker stars might exist in that 20 light year sphere undiscovered.

Worth a thought when reading articles about thousand and millions of light years distance.
