Unfortunately you’re right. It will probably explode in the next 500,000+ years, and I wish we were wrong in our estimates so maybe we could witness it, but it won’t happen. Universal time scales are too large.

Kepler’s Supernova was 1604. He is probably referring to the one from Chinese records in 185 A.D. EDIT: there are also a few from around 1000 AD that we’re visible to the naked eye.
