do you think that humans will witness the death of our sun?

Absolutely not. There is no way we will last that long.. it's completely out of the question. And even if we did, we wouldn't really be human anymore because that timeframe would allow us to evolve into a new species.
An btw, I'm and 21 and dead sexy.

I dug around in the closet and found my old halloween mask with the beard and spectacles and put it on before I answered this question.
The answer is "no." The human race will be lucky to last another couple of centuries, much less 5 billion years.
Sorry.
Now I am going to take off the beard and spectacles and put them back in the box with the rubber duckie and the nerf ball.

No. I think humans will evolve into another species long before then. An we will probably cause that evolution ourselves, on purpose, improving the race with genetic engineering. First to remove birth defects and inherited diseases, then to make small beneficial changes, and in "only" a thousand years there will be designer people made to specification. Not really human at all. What a scary idea. I am glad I won't live to see it. But I think it will happen.
BTW shaneallen04, I am well over 21 and not particularly sexy.

We could observe it from another star system, say in the Orion nebula. By then we could be sending probes back and forth, taking spectacular images of the unfurling conflagration, as Earth boils dry, 1 billion years before it becomes inhospitable.

Not a chance. That would be in about 5 billion years, so they reckon. That's longer than there has been life on earth, and about 100 000 times longer than man has existed.

No, humans will all be well cooked before this happens, but possibly it will be observed from far of in space by some other life forms.

no,we will either be extinct or we will have set out on a quest of exploration to the far sides of the galaxy

No we will have been struck by meteor or asteroid before then
