Stars aren't dead

"The Majority Of The Stars You See Aren't Dead. There’s a common misconception that when you’re looking up at the sky, you’re seeing thousands of dead stars who are still sending light out into the universe. It’s a poetic thought, but it’s also false. Most of the stars in the night sky are still out there, shining away. After all, stars burn for millions of years. What are the chances all the ones you see would have perished by now?"
