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)

The vast majority of stars that you can see with the naked eye are actually relatively close, within a couple of thousand light-years. There’s still plenty of room for some of them to be alive and kicking.

As for what’s alive out there now? Odds are, more of the same. More stars, new stars, stellar remnants.
