Some sources claim that about one star per year in Milky Way dies. We have about 100 billion visible galaxies, so roughly 3000 stars per second die in our visible universe - however, most of those are small stars which aren't really visible to our instruments.


Small stars live a long, long time. We shouldn't see them die, yet.


They were born long, long ago as well.


Red Dwarfs are expected to burn for trillions of years.
