This is amazing. OP is a treasure. Proud to upvote.

Are these two stars orbiting some thing? Like a black hole? Or are they only caught in each other's gravity?

Was just on Wikipedia and searched "hottest stars".
Compare that to the Sun at 5778 Kelvin = 9,941° Fahrenheit.
These are surface temps.

To take this to the next level, everything that is or will be, came from the original ingredients that was squirted out in the big bang. Now the bigger question is what was the original 'thing' that the big bang exploded from?
Read up on M Theory. It's the leading candidate theory at this time.

That just isn't true anymore. Exploration of space is driving the research and development of fantastic technologies that are advancing our understanding of cosmic dynamics in almost exponential increments.

My biggest question though, and all I want to know, is what is at the end of space? It can’t be infinite. What is at the end?
We have to first know what space is. The discovery of the Higgs Boson tells us that space is a physical thing that can be measured. It also confirmed the Higgs Field and its role in assigning mass to particles.
From Alan Guth's Inflation Theory we know that space does not have the same constraints as classical matter and energy. For example, it expands much faster than the speed of light.
Einstein told us to think of space and time as being the same thing. If he understood this relationship clearly, he failed to impart that understanding to the rest of us.
Space is as baffling as the quantum world because of its exotic properties. So, when we understand what it is and how it works we'll be able to at least hypothesize its scale. Presently, we can't.

What is the chance of us, sometime in our lifetimes, seeing a Supernova bright and close enough to see at noon?
Supernovas are rare, about one per galaxy per century. The last significant one near the Milky Way was in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a dwarf galaxy that's approximately 160,000 light years from earth, and was first seen in 1987.
The last one that would fit the description of what you'd like to see happened in 1054. We know it in the sky as the Crab Nebula. It's some 6500 light years away and the light of the explosion was first seen on July 4, 1054 and documented by the Chinese and the Anasazi Indians.

That's one of the things that I have always wanted out of life.
Me, too. Maybe we'll be lucky and live to see Eta Carinae (7500 ly distant) or Betelgeuse (640 ly) explode. Of course, we'd be seeing the light from their explosions thousands and hundreds of years in the past, respectively.

If you were looking at it with the naked eye, it wouldnt be until 250 years after the explosion that you would know about it. a light year is the distance light travels in a year (approx 6 trilion miles). so, with the star being 250 light years away, it would take 250 years from the time the explosion happened for us to see. but even then, all the naked eye would see is the star blinking some and then disappearing
Wow. This thread is neato as frick.

Huh? Just about any astronomer believes alien life is somewhere out there, maybe even intelligent life. The problem is that it's so far away we may never know for sure.
I'm talking about the masses. Of course most scientists would assume by the sheer numbers of stars and planets that there HAS to be life out there. Furthermore I specifically said the non believers of aliens, not astronomers.

I always expected the surface of the sun to be much hotter than this.

WR 102 is expected to go supernova in the next couple of thousand years. It's a Wolf-Rayet star, which is a massive star in the very late stage of life and already blowing off huge amounts of mass into a surrounding nebula. They are so hot that most of their light is ultraviolet, they are somewhat faint in visual wavelengths.

This is all bullshite.
The two stars can't orbit around each other if they are both in motion as described / depicted.
You reference NDT. He's a poser and a worthless SJW.
I award you zero points.

One question I have is, how we can look back in time with telescopes?
