I agree that this would be relevant, but Harry doesn't know the literal text of the prophesy yet. Only discussion of "destroying the world" has happened in his presence, not "tear apart the stars".

The fact that "protecting the earth" in the very long run requires protecting the earth from solar flares and supernovas hasn't yet been understood by Voldemort.

He does know that a prophecy said something about 'tearing apart the very s-' AND that a centaur was concerned about the stars all going dark.

Stellar shenanigans seem like a very likely culprit.

Exactly my thought. Aaaaand there was mention of apparating one into the sun.
