I note the vast star Betelgeuse...

in Orion has started to dim and is expected to supernova within a 100,000 years or so. And if that's not enough there's speculation that gravity waves have been detected from the Orion quadrant too. V exciting times indeed. The arrow helpfully added is not to scale or else I'm sure it would be mentioned in the literature.
