The nearest star (other than the Sun) is 4.7 light-years from Earth, meaning it takes 4.7 years for light from that star to reach us. That star could die and we would not know it for 4.7 years. Some stars are billions of light years away, it would be billions of years before we noticed that the star was no longer shining.
