There's a massive difference in mass between the size of a future nova
and a future supernova - and our Sun is barely big enough for a nova
future and far below that of a supernova so I tend to look askance at
any author who describes the future Sun in that way.
It can't be a nova; only close binary star systems can produce novas.
