There's parts of fifteen states with some sort of snow-related winter weather headline, this should not be a shock.

Our sun is actually incapable of going Super Saiyan on its own without help from something like a rogue star running into it (and in that case our Sun would be little more than a fusion spark plug), but if that happened we'd likely be dead before they managed to collide, either from the rogue star's gravitational pull loving up our orbit or potentially passing close enough to irradiate and/or incinerate the planet.

Anyway, ~Space Weather~.

what? is our sun just gonna burn out like a little bitch?

Not sure if you're legitimately asking, but the Sun's expected death cycle will be becoming progressively brighter and hotter over the next million-plus years, eventually causing an ELE for pretty much everything except extremophiles. There might be the *smallest* range of habitability in certain latitudes, but if we're still around in some shape or form then, life as it is now would seem positively idyllic in comparison.

Then in the *billion* year range, the sun will exhaust its hydrogen and expand outwards as a red giant and ultimately consume Earth. Not even the tardigrades will survive this.

Once it's exhausted its fuel, it'll become a white dwarf.

I remember reading quite some time ago that there are extremely unlikely outcomes where the Sun could undergo a regular (not super) nova, which would be bad news for all of us, so I guess you could cross your fingers for that. But, if it ever happened, we'd be completely ignorant of it for ~8 minutes.

only a million years? is that something that happens with oscillation then?

The sun will slowly increase in luminosity as it gets further along in it's main-sequence lifespan. This slow increase in luminosity means that the Earth's oceans will eventually boil off at some point within the next billion years, not a million.

The actual red giant stage itself isn't happening for another four to five billion years.

The sun cannot go nova by any reasonable mechanism.

this was one of the first bluray movies so they hosed up the code forcing behind the scenes clips to play during the movie with no way of turning them off

so they had to set up an recall exchange program to send you a fixed copy
