    I want invisibility, but only if it extends to the clothes you are wearing. I don't want to walk around naked.

    With Betelgeuse over 400 light years away whatever it could already have gone supernova and we wouldn’t know about it for centuries.

    My favorite star as a kid, along with VV Cephei. Yes, I had a thing for big stars. Don't judge me.

    Or it could've gone supernova around 400 years ago, and we're about to see it! :D
