But when the hydrogen is gone at last, it will grow cooler, collapse into an enormously dense, feebly shining dwarf star, with its fragments of ruined atoms crushed tightly together. Such dense dwarf stars are already known to astronomers; one of them is the dim companion of bright Sirius...

So many novae have been spotted in the sky that astronomers believe every normal star may have an outburst at least once in its lifetime. The star may return to its ordinary state and continue its evolution, but if the sun flared up it would vaporize every planet in the solar system. This might happen at any time. However, since the sun has ten billion years...
