What if the stars in the galaxy are the remnants of civilizations fusion reactor gone wrong ;p

The universe is temporarily occupied by stars.

I think the problem is not that the star is faint but it's drowned in the light of other star nowadays

Is it a nest of stars leading to a domino effect chain of supernovas?

Forget meteorite, it would be a Suprnova.

Well, the galaxy being big helps ;)

Last linedespite the galactic collision and the dazzling view from Earth, it’s extremely unlikely that any individual stars will collide because of the sheer amount of empty space in galaxies.

e.g. because your star is about to blow up.

Do large, bright stars ever pass that close? What would that look like?

I was hoping this is about an astrophysical phenomena.
