Half a Billion times further out than the Sun,
and our scientists here on earth can see it?
Wow. I suppose satelites will send images, as with the pictures from Mars. Even still, it’s quite impressive if they are certain of what is being seen.

Yup. Could have happened 7999 years ago, with the light not reaching us yet.
And since we are seeing the “spiral” of the rotation that means we are are staring down the barrel of a gun if that star goes supernova.....

They blast out powerful winds of hot gas, and represent the last stage of most massive stars before "exploding as a supernova". Michael Moore Stars..................

At least the dust cloud is “more slower.”

Wait.
The universe is infinite.
We can only only observe an infinitesimally small part of it.
So, the title is crap.

I thought that when one black hole ate another black hole was the most powerful event in the universe.

The star system is believed to be located around 8,000 light years away from Earth. When will it have already happened so we can watch?

Yes. Yes it is.
If the dust clouds was moving much faster, who knows what could happen? It would be so much more worser than it is.
