with how light works and the constant expansion of what we term the “observable universe” why don’t we constantly see new stars appearing in the night sky as the observable part expands and stars/galaxies light reaches us for the first time?
The night sky has stayed relatively the same (accounting for changing postions over time, stella phenom, supernovas etc.) for all of humans written history.

Stars are really old, like billions of years. So is the universe. It takes a long time, millions of years, for stars to form. You’ve been alive for less than .001% or less of the time it takes for new stars to form.
Star time is a bunch longer than human time.
