If it was aimed right at us, the advanced alien civilization would probably shrug their shoulders and not care, unless they knew we existed and cared about us.

A gamma ray burst from a dying star is like a gun (except it would shoot in 2 directions, forward and backward, instead of just forward). This hypothetical alien civilization would be standing off to the side seeing the gun pointed away from them, maybe not knowing or caring that we were in the crosshairs.

Here's what they are talking about. If you are in one of those two beams of light, bad news for you. More than likely we wont ever be though, unless we are incredibly unlucky.
