I read the whole article at the link. No mention of how far away this star(s) is in light years.
Something tells me this event (in true time) has probably already happened due to the distance away we are.
2083?..................well, we’ll all be dead from Climate Change by then so why worry?...............
It’s 6-7 x larger than our sun. It’s also ~5,100 light years away, so it’s presumably already gone supernova.
I won't be here, but I feel like placing a bet that this won't happen in 2083.

Confirming it already is in the history books. Great reporting from MSM, always easier to report on the past isn’t it.
About 7760 light years distant.
I saw “Binary star”, and thought it was referring to an actor who ‘identified’ with both sexes. Never mind.
If you haven’t noticed almost everything coming out of NASA and space sources, have already happened. Things so far away that they aren’t really news at all.
Saw today the weather guy playing space reporter say ... I wonder, maybe those folk out there are getting our radio waves the same way. Is this all part of a dialog ??!!
Idiot, if they are over 200 light years away, nothing has gotten to them yet!!! Brains are not on the tube anymore.
Is this photo here cause this thread touches on alien life from far away?
I’ll put that on my calendar.
V Sagittae? Would that be “Gamma Sagittae”? As in the 3rd most luminous star in that constellation?
Speak of The Devil!
If the light from the supernova explosion won't reach earth until about 2083, that gives NASA lots of time to figure out how to credit medieval Muslim astronomers with our knowledge of V Sagittae.
But, if it's millions of light years away, when it explodes the light won't reach us for millions of years.
V Sagittae is a different star.
If it were millions of light-years away, it would be in another galaxy. Presumably it has already exploded (assuming the astronomers are right) but the light from the explosion hasn’t reached us yet.
This star is 466.61 light years from here. In other words, it already blowed up about 350 years ago and the light is still on its way here.
