Interesting tidbit, but our sun won't ever "Go Supernova", as its mass is much too small. It'll eventually blow off most of the outer layers and end up as a white dwarf, but this is a totally different thing than a supernova.

Geeky I know, but interesting stuff.

Also, don't worry, none of this will happen for a several billion years.
