The sun dies tonight

If you guys just don't know what to watch on TV tonight, might I suggest checking out Naked
Science on the National Geographic Channel this evening at 9? Tonight marks the premiere of "Death of the
Sun" which will explore the eventual expansion and demise of the sun, and, consequently, the burning of our
adorable little planet to a charred crisp. I've been endlessly fascinated by this concept since I was a kid, if not for
the scientific aspect than for the not-so-subtle reminder that the sun is not only what gives us life, but also what
will ultimately destroy us. Unless, of course, we somehow create a new bomb and manage to beat the sun to the
punch. Heck, we've been trying to destroy ourselves for years, why should the sun get to have all the fun?
