I have the unfortunate role of informing you that the Sun will not explode. It will, in fact, expand to become a red giant, swallowing the Earth or at least vaporizing it in the process, and will eventually shrink down to become a white dwarf.

So sadly there will be no super nova or massive explosion, but I'm sure it'll be a pretty wild process to watch in about 5 billion years.
