"The sun is 93 million miles from Earth, the light from it takes 8 minutes to reach us.
So if the sun went supernova (exploded), we'd unknowingly have 8 minutes left to live!  "
Except it won't ever go supernova as its too small.
I find the massive variation in stars and how they work fascinating. The sun is converting hundreds of millions of tonnes of hydrogen into helium every second, in the process several million tonnes of matter get changed from "stuf" into energy. It will keep doing this for billions more years until it runs out of hydrogen and then will begin to expand until its outer edges may even reach out as far as the orbit of the earth. It will at some point after this experience a runaway nuclear reaction where helium fuses into carbon.
Can't remember what they say happens next, but the history of how they've worked this stuff out and how it fits into our best models of the way the universe works is really interesting (we'll, for me it is)

It will collapse into a white dwarf. |

First went to print as a broadsheet in September 1963 and became a tabloid in 1969.
Became a 7 day publication in 2012.
The first topless Page 3 model appeared on 17 November 1970, Stephanie Rahn.
The page 3 model disappeared in 2015.
ahhh wrong Sun!  |

It wont though, it's not massive enough |
