good day for the sun to explode Hey, I didn't say the sun was going to explode. I said "For those with nothing to worry about". Unless stellar evolution theory has completely changed in the last year, this guy's "out to lunch". The sun is a main sequence star with plenty of hydrogen fuel in its core to keep it on the main sequence for a long time. And even then there's the whole red giant phase after the main sequence. Not being a particularly massive star, there's no reason for a supernova. Instead, eventually (billions of years as Sagen would say) it will settle down into a white dwarf. Or so the party line goes. lurqer
