Thanks for your input but I strongly disagree. It's not a massive star, but we definately do orbit another star. Once you hear the theory, everything makes sense in our solar system. It's kept from us because it is a great and humbling truth that there is another star and planets with life within orbit of us.

You ever think those first two pics are of the North Star?
It appears to me they are depicting the third one to be really bright, ie: North Star......The brightest star in the sky....
That is my interpretation of it anyways....Take it for what its worth
Types of Supernovae
Supernovae are divided into two basic physical types:
Type Ia. These result from some binary star systems in which a carbon-oxygen white dwarf is accreting matter from a companion. (What kind of companion star is best suited to produce Type Ia supernovae is hotly debated.) In a popular scenario, so much mass piles up on the white dwarf that its core reaches a critical density of 2 x 109 g/cm3. This is enough to result in an uncontrolled fusion of carbon and oxygen, thus detonating the star.
Type II. These supernovae occur at the end of a massive star's lifetime, when its nuclear fuel is exhausted and it is no longer supported by the release of nuclear energy. If the star's iron core is massive enough, it will collapse and become a supernova.
A Type II supernova results from the death of a single star much more massive than the sun. When such a star begins to burn out, its core quickly collapses. Tremendous energy is suddenly released in the form of neutrinos (a type of subatomic particle) and electromagnetic radiation (electric and magnetic energy). This energy causes the star to erupt into a supernova.

The milky way is a part of the system that is orbiting around the dwarf companion star.
