Hello there buddy. You've stumbled upon one of the universe's little secrets.
I'm Lumina, and in case you haven't noticed, I'm standing on my last leg... or rather, producing my last supernova.
It's been a wild ride these past few billion years. Let me tell you about the good ol' days.
When I was but a tender hydrogen cloud, swirling around the cosmos, I had dreams. Dreams of fiery fusion, of lighting up galaxies, and oh, the gravitational dances with my fellow stellar companions.
You know the story of the tortoise and the hare? Well, stars like me relate more to the tortoise. Slow and steady fusion wins the race. When you burn as long as I have, you gain a certain... gravitas.
Of course, I've seen things that would make even your jaw drop. Planets forming and dissolving, comets whizzing by, and the occasional black hole. Now, there's a conversation starter.
But enough nostalgia. The truth is, I'm running out of fuel. I've been clinging on to life, one fusion reaction at a time, but now? It's time for the grand finale.
So, listen closely. As I explode into a kaleidoscope of colors, I want you to remember: every fading light is just waiting for its next adventure.
