It’s been a million years Our Traveler would like to watch a star explode in the hopes of seeing a gamma-ray burst. However, predicting when a star will go supernova is really hard.

Summary[edit]

Description
English: It’s been a million years

Our Traveler would like to watch a star explode in the hopes of seeing a gamma-ray burst. However, predicting when a star will go supernova is really hard. Even if we know of a star that could explode “soon,” that could be a day, a week, a year, a million years, or more!
