Sirius B going down
Is it already materially gone though is the question?
Takes a looong time for its light to hit us.
Just looked it up when the light is gone from it it would have died around 8.6 years before that.
Sirius is 8.6ly away.
Makes you think what other stars are already gone but we don't know.
Oh this is an extreme example but pretty cool to think about.
