When will Mu Cephei die?

Answer 1

Mu Cephei, for all you uneducated people, is the 3rd largest star in the the universe, or that we know of. It is nearing death right now as you read this. it probably has only a few more 1000 years to live. Mu Cephei is a super giant star, so it is to big to explode into a supernova. It will probably explode into a hypernova, which is bigger than a supernova, or possibly into a meganova, which is bigger than a hypernova.
