Always mind-boggling to contemplate that what we’re seeing today actually happened five billion years ago, before the earth was even formed.

We are in so much trouble when that blast hits us.

Maybe one of those "brane" bangers ~ eventually everything in the vicinity boils off leaving a hole in the universe.
We've already got a couple of those in sight.

I love it when someone comes out and says, “We don’t know everything about what’s happening out in space”.

In real life, there is no such thing as a black hole, much less a “star-eating black hole(TM)”. This is almost certainly yet another artifact of mistakenly interpreting redshift as distance.

It would be nice if they included in which constellation this event happened. Then us naked-eye observers could cast our glace in the general direction of the event.

Too far away for us to really worry about.
Betelgeuse on the other hand is only some 600 light years away, and by the time we see the first flash from it going Supernova it could well be too late to worry about.
The pisser is that it could have gone supernova 600 years ago, and the first flash could be here any second.....

I'll admit a point singularity of infinite density where the laws of physics do not apply has always bothered me, so has inflation theory and the *not to be talked about* photos Harlton Arp took before being denied telescope time.
