Worry about it 8,000 years after it happens...

Which could be tomorrow. Remember, we’re seeing light that is 8000 years old. 7999 years ago, the star *could have* exploded, and we’d find out about it in a couple months.
Not that there’s anything to worry about!

Worry about it 8,000 years after it happens...But if it is 8,000 light years away, we are viewing it as it existed 8,000 years ago.

Worry about it 8,000 years after it happens... So what if it happened 7999 years, 364 days ago?

How do you know it did not already happen 7,998 years ago and we only have two years left before the light arrives?

of course, if we aren’t on the axis, even by just a little [undetectable] bit,
we could be far enough out of the path to not even be able to measure its effect.

Worry about it 8,000 years after it happens... Hummmm? But it might have happened already --- say 7,999 years ago.
Sleep well. ;~))
