If stars we see are billions of years dead, what is really out there now?

They say that when we look up to see stars, we’re actually seeing the light from dead stars. So technically, we can’t see what’s out there in the present? What do you think is out there now? is it just new, modern stars or we don’t get to see anything at all? (since by now, everything has expanded billions of miles apart from each other that light is far from anything to reach)

Just looking up you don’t see many, if any, dead stars. All the stars you see with your own eyes are in our own galaxy.

You need powerful telescopes to see stars that are old enough to be dead.
