Thanks.

I ask because recently a friend told me that most of the stars you see in the sky have already died. I'd heard it before and even before I took an interest in astronomy it sounded fishy. But I was pretty positive that all the stars visible to the naked eye are still around since they're all in our galaxy, and the last estimate of how large our galaxy is that I saw said it was about 100,000 light years across.

Thanks again.
