VY Canis Majoris, sitting almost 5,000 light-years away from us, is also about to die. The star is in a phase of its life known as a red hypergiant. The normal fusion processes that power a star eventually give out, leading to a tangled mess of hydrogen, helium, and other elements all competing for attention in the core.
