This is what is believed to have happened in 1987, when a star with 20 times the mass of our Sun blew up, 165,000 light-years away in the Large Magellanic Cloud

Wouldn't that be 165,020 years ago?

Approximately. Give or take a light year or two.

So it didn't happen on Bush's watch.   Say, who was president 165,020 years ago?
