    Also considering:

    Older than recorded history; was here longer than any of us and will be here long after we leave. Has a finite beginning and end but is still incomprehensibly ancient

    Burns itself into your vision instantly and can blind you if you look for too long

    Further prolonged exposure can cause cancerous growths

    Non-humanoid shape floating through space; colossal flaming tentacles angrily lash out on occasion

    Sort of just appeared one day and is now surrounded by the corpses of its stillborn children

    People used to sacrifice other people to appease it

    Pretty sure it screams at us sometimes

      In 4.5 billion years, the sun will begin the fusion of iron.

      At this time, the sun will become a red dwarf, swelling in size, and swallowing the earth.

      Or at least, burning us to a crisp.

      Even a built-in apocalypse conclusion!
