OK, well, it could be tomorrow. But it could also not be fore another 10,000 years.
Anyway, relatively speaking, it looks like there's a pretty close star out there ready to go boom, in the largest explosions our universe has to offer outside the original.
Keep your eyes pealed, the sky could be a LOT brighter than usual in the next few years. 
I hope! The last observed super nova was in 1572 by my astronomical hero, Tycho Brahe. Yes, the one with the bladder and the drunk donkey.

It's probably already happened and burned out. We're just waiting for the light to reach us.
