Currently wondering: if humanity starts colonizing space now, will there still be enough time for members of the species to get outside the radius of a theoretical supernova of our sun?

But scientists recently witnessed a supernova from a star with a million years of hydrogen "left".

doesn't matter. the sun just doesn't have the mass necessary to go supernova by a huge margin.

Hm. I'm still concerned that we apparently don't know enough about stars to be able to explain things we're witnessing; that calls our notions of what "stable" means into question.
