Nobody knows. The nearest star to us is more than 4 light years (ly) away so we are seeing that star as it was around 4 years ago, not as it is today. The furthest reaches of the Galaxy are more than 100000 ly away so we see the furthest stars as they were 100000 years ago. They could have undergone supernova explosions, been swallowed up by a black hole or whatever. We would have to wait 100000 years to find out what the galaxy is like today.
