Type II SN Coming Soon?
Here is a paper about a star that Spitzer has observed that looks quite similar to the star (and environs) that turned into SN1987a.

How interesting. This baby is only 7,000 lyrs away. If it blows and is equal to 1987A in peak brightness, it will appear 10x brighter than Sirius.
[At the moment, it would be more interesting if it were in Gemini and <1,000 lyrs. away.  ]

If it were 7 LYs away it would be more than interesting :-)

Hmmm...100x brighter than the full moon, but with consequences exceeding the "interesting" level. Fortunately, no sn candidates are close.
