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
