Big ball of plasma in the center of the solar system that will definitely eventually explode and wipe out anything left alive on any surrounding planet?

The sun isn't heavy enough to go supernova. (Unless it has a companion, but there's no evidence of one so far.)

It will still expand and shed enough stuff to effectively blanch whatever part of the solar system it doesn't actually engulf, though.

It doesn't even have to go supernova to kill everything, which is kind of the point.
