I lay in bed at night looking up at the stars and the only thing I'm thinking is 'Where the fuck is my ceiling'

The universe is your ceiling

Five year old me freaking out when learning the sun will eventually explode

Must have been a relief for six year old you to find out that the sun is too small to go nova

It was not a relief, however, to learn that the sun will expand to be so large as to fully encompass the earth's orbit long before it does eventually explode... In only 5 billion years... Which apparently was a few billion less than 6 year old me planned on living for!

Don't worry, it will grow bright enough to fry Earth in only 300 million!

I interpreted the "beautiful starry night" in the context where most of the populated world lives under so much light pollution you can barely see any stars...
