IK Pegasi
BINARY · the nearest supernova candidate
An ordinary looking star with a heavyweight secret: its close companion is a massive white dwarf, and when the main star swells with age and feeds it, the dwarf may someday tip over its weight limit and detonate as a supernova. No alarm needed: that day lies very far in the future, and by then the pair will have drifted much farther from us.
