   That makes it about 10^11 metres away which is closer than our Sun (150   
   x 10^9m), where is this hitherto unknown star? Just a few observations,   
   the photon flux will fry you, the particle storm will rip apart anything   
   left. But if you have the ability to know a day before when there are no   
   signs then you probably have the ability to escape with your photograph,   
   and don't need our advice anyway.
