As the constellation Cygnus glides gracefully along the Milky Way every late spring and summer,

Meanwhile other constellations stumble around the sky, knocking chunks of the Milky Way out and causing meteor showers or now, because of global warming, meteor superstorms. < /Washpost astronomy>

Six Stars of the Northern Cross
In mourning for their sister's loss
In a final flash of glory
Nevermore to grace the night

So... what scientists are really saying is that THOUSANDS of years ago, they think these two stars collided.

These two stars are somewhere between 1500 and 5000 light years away.

If it’s anything like my chevy nova, it will light up the nights sky.

The binary star KIC 9832227 is about 1800 light years away.

Scientific literature cites 50 to 100 light years as the closest safe distance between Earth and a supernova.

Some who did not fight
Brought tales of old to light
My Rocinante sailed by night
On her final flight

To the heart of Cygnus’ fearsome force
We set our course.
Spiraled through that timeless space
To this immortal place
