Star generations are like people generations, except the generations of stars are even more staggered. Most of the first generation class M stars and class K stars that formed about 13 billion years ago, still are on main sequence. Some class O stars (the brightest) are on 20th generation, as they have only a few million years before they become black holes. Neil
