Supernova. There are Chinese and European accounts from centuries ago of "guest stars," new stars that appeared and faded from view. We can see the expanding remnants of those supernova today--one is the Crab Nebula.

Why do stars appear distant if you supposedly only see the light that they emit?
All sight its based on the light that objects either emit, reflect, or refract. The stars are little different in this regard. We judge distance using a number of different cues, a number of which indicate that the stars are far away.More distant objects will tend to appear smaller. The stars appear small.Any object that blocks a portion of the sky will block the stars from view, so we know the stars are more distant than those objects.When we move, objects we are looking at appear to change position relative to us. The farther away they are, the smaller the change. No matter how much we move there is no apparent change in the position of the stars, meaning they must be very far away.Indeed, the stars are much farther away than they appear to be as we are not able to perceive such distances directly.

If the Earth rotates from the west to the east why do the sun and stars move from the east to the west?
They are not actually, moving, they just appear to be moving because we are. Consider that if you are on a train moving forward, objects that you pass by appear to move toward the read of the train.
