Death Star could pose threat to Earth

Very interesting! Have a read of this.

"University of Sydney astronomer Peter Tuthill discovered the elegant rotating pinwheel system, named WR104, eight years ago in the constellation Sagittarius.

It includes a highly unstable star known as a Wolf-Rayet, widely regarded by astronomers as ticking bombs – the last stop in a star’s life before a cataclysmic supernova explosion."
