Best Answer

The word "disaster" comes from the Latin for "bad star"; like many people today, the Romans believed that the stars controlled the fates of people. When bad things happened, it was because an evil star - a "disaster" - had afflicted them.

Our Sun is too small to be destroyed in a supernova explosion, but if an intelligent race of aliens happened to be living on a planet whose star went supernova, it would indeed be a "disaster", an "evil star", that would incinerate their world.
