Scientista started to gather information by observing the stars and learnt from here. First they used parallax to get the distance, then the apparent brightness, but after a while they can get luminosity, size/mass, what fuel they use (eg.helium), and then from that the learnt about the starts lifetime. Hope this is helpful

How do scientists know so much about stars in distant galaxies?

Scientists use telescopes to observe and analyze light emitted by stars in distant galaxies. By studying the light's intensity, temperature, composition, and movement, scientists can gather information about the stars' age, size, distance, and other properties. This data helps scientists understand the behavior and characteristics of stars in those galaxies.


How do scientists gather information about the natural world?

Scientists gather information about the natural world through a variety of methods, including observations, experiments, field studies, data collection, and analysis. They may use tools such as microscopes, telescopes, sensors, and satellites to gather data and conduct research to understand natural phenomena and processes. Collaboration with other scientists, publication of results, and peer review are also important aspects of the scientific process.
