I think that this star system needs a new name. "KPD1930+2752" just doesn't have the pazazz needed to sell it to the American people.

That's what I thought too, what's a few millennium past my bed time.
It would be worth it just to hear the Rats scream about how it was all a result of GW's enviromental policies.

The DNC issued a press release calling for an independent, bipartisan commission to learn "What did Bush know and when did he know it?"
John Kerry also issued a statement saying that obviously the President is ineffective as a leader since he has not done more to protect women and minorities from this coming event.

The star, known as KPD1930+2752, will explode within the next 200 million years. "WILL EXPLODE"...
What a prognostication. We're Doomed, Doomed, DOOMED!
Oh the Humanity...

How many light years is this star from the lens? Is it already gone and we're just waiting for the light in the sky?

Thanks for the type 1a ping, longshadow.
Type 1a ...like the explosion of a hydrogen bomb approximately the size of the Earth but containing the mass of the Sun.
And only about 1 per millennium per galaxy of our size.
Last big one was probably the Crab Nebula (typeII) in 1054, recorded by Chinese as a 'guest star', but not in the West.
