Five year old me freaking out when learning the sun will eventually explode

Must have been a relief for six year old you to find out that the sun is too small to go nova

It was not a relief, however, to learn that the sun will expand to be so large as to fully encompass the earth's orbit long before it does eventually explode... In only 5 billion years... Which apparently was a few billion less than 6 year old me planned on living for!

Don't worry, it will grow bright enough to fry Earth in only 300 million!
