Some stars might no longer be in existence but you still see them in the night sky why?

Stars that are no longer in existence, or dead stars, may be still visible in the night sky depending on how far away the star was from earth. Light takes time to travel, so if a star is 50 billion lightyears away from earth, and it died 25 billion years ago, due to the amount of time it takes for the light to reach our eyes, the star's light will still be visible for another 25 billion years.

For all we know it may have exploded as a supernova 639 years ago, but we won't know for another year.So the stars you are viewing in the night sky, is what a star looked like, depending on the distance from us.
