If you want to REALLY worry about something. worry about Super Gamma Ray Bursts. If a Red Giant star goes Super Nova in some far off place in the Universe, and its axis is aimed at us, we're all cooked. Literally.
In fact it *may* have already happened and those Gamma Rays have been coming right at us at 186,000 miles per second. And they could be here next week. Or next month. Or in two years.
So for all the Chicken Littles, grab your pillow and bury your head.
We're all GONNNA DIE!
Gamma Rays. The Original Global Warming.

So, if we can't figure out if a nearby red giant is going to go supernova, we should rename it Betelguess ? And when they gets here, the rays are obviously Betelguests.
But, if they don't go in our direction, we can name the remnants a Betelmiss?
