WASHINGTON — A massive, eruptive white dwarf star in the Milky Way — long overdue for its next periodic eruption — is closer to our solar system than previously thought and could threaten the Earth if it fully explodes millions of years from now.

Contradictory statements. May not be millions of years from now - could be any day.
What cracks me up is how people just don’t get it...LOL. There is very little we can do to protect ourselves in the very rough neighborhood that we live in.
There are an unlimited amount of things that could happen to the earth even in the next 1,000 years that we have absolutely no control over.
Man is so arrogant!
Millions of years from now? Who gives a crap?
Upon further read I see the distinction now and withdraw my earlier post.

One need only look at January 20, 2009 for a perfect example.
That’s it. We’re doomed. I’m not cleaning the house any more.
“If it explodes in 10 years we’ll only have 3,260 years to go. (Its 3,260 light years away)”
But what if it exploded 3258 years ago (and the Aztecs saw it).

It’s just an isolated extremist. Tell it we’re considering sanctions.

On a well constructed Karnaugh map ... this would be the equivalent of a "dc".
Women and children will be disproportionately affected by the end of the world.
Could have exploded 3260 yrs. ago already and tomorrow were toast !
I love these great photographic manageries of incredibly large space images, portraying the massive universal events as they approach to vaporize all life off the planet Earth. Just amazing photography!
at least a canonical formed grouping of “dc”s. :^)
if it fully explodes millions of years from now... 
LOL! I miss Beavis.
How could a star explode more than once?
Sounds like a question for Dr. Michio Kaku to answer.
