I saw it! The fat red giant said to the red dwarf "Oi bro! you're perturbing my orbit". The dwarf star said 'Nah man, I didn't for shit, eh' and the other one goes: 'I will call on my fully sick planets, eh'. And then underwent gravitational collapse and chk-chk ka-boom!
But it would also destroy Zaphod's home (Betelgeuse V). Now, Zaphod's just this guy, you know, but he's still the public President of the Galaxy, man!
I guess we can just not panic and relax in the fact that, where the Guide is inaccurate, it is at least definitively inaccurate, and in cases of major discrepancy it is always reality that has it wrong.
Well, technically the star is already gone, if that's going to be visible any time soon. Though interestingly if we could reach it within our lifetimes we'd have to go back in time to do so and so it would still be there, pulsating like some giant infected slug, lol.
A morsel of genuine history is a thing so rare as to be always valuable.
