I'm glad others are having / had trouble with 16 too - it's put me at a standstill as well.

Instead in 4-5 billion years it\'s estimated to burn out it\'s hydrogen, and collapse until hot enough to fuse helium. Thus becoming a more or less unstable red giant. The star will eventually push* out it\'s outer layers, creating a stellar nebula. In the center of the nebula remains the star\'s core, now reduced into a slowly dimming white dwarf. In the end, the star\'s dying core cools until it no longer emits any light at all, becoming a black dwarf. (~Hammerwielder
*in much more peaceful manner than in case of supernova.
I would be more concerned of supernova explosions of our neighboring stars, eg. the red supergiant Betelgeuze, which some predict will explode in the next 1000 years or so. Luckily it\'s over 400 ly from here.
