It's worth noting that when scientists talk about how it's "about to go" supernova, they are saying within the next 10,000 to 100,000 years at the very least.
Dr Becky covered that paper in her video, where the new paper was suggesting within several decades to a hundred or so years. However that is also all based on simulations from observations.
I so hope we see this in in the next 30 - 50 years. Would so amazing and informative. Obviously, hoping it doesn't hurt though. :D
