Let's just hope the fireballs don't align to Earth and hit us.

The bigger question is are we able to seen them from Earth through a telescope which would be a good reason to pay $50.00 to see the event taking place.

Space is big. REALLY big. The chances of them aligning to hit earth from a star 1200 light years away is infinitesimal. Never mind that it would take hundreds of thousands of years for them to get here.

Look for black cubes. Sounds like something out of Revelation Space.

The only star you need to keep an eye on is the one at about 8 light minutes away from this planet...

Goodness gracious..
