Estimated at 200-400 billion stars.
According to SIMBAD, ~970. But there's a lot of stars within 50 light years whose distances aren't known. There's quite a few stars within 50 light years. To get a good estimate, we should consider how many stars within 20 light years, and go from there. The nearest 25 light years are really well catalogued, and the current census is 200 stars. Now, through knowledge of Geometry, one can say that if you multiply the radius of a 3D shape by a number, x, the volume will increase by the x^3. Why 3? because it's a 3D shape. So we double our sphere from 25 to 50 light years. So thus the volume increases by 2^3 = 8 times! So there are 8 times as many stars within 50 light years as there are within 25 light years. 200 * 8 = 1,600 stars (estimate).
No, stars do not die every minute. Stars have different lifespans depending on their size and type. Some stars can live for billions of years while others may only live for a few million years. The death of a star usually takes place over a much longer timescale.
In 200 years, at the time of answering in 2015, it will be the year 2215.
The constellation Hercules contains around 200 stars that are visible to the naked eye.

Statistically speaking, studies show that a random sample of 200 people yields about the same data for ANY larger number of people, such as 5 million. Therefore, the minimum number of people surveyed in a scientific study should be 200.

if by years you mean stars... our own galaxy contained from 200 to 400 billion stars. Years are a measurement of time, a human way of gauging the passage of time. It is intangible and thus unable to be contained within anything.
The universe is believed to be approximately 13.7 billion years old, with stars first appearing 100-200 million years after the Big Bang. It is impossible to know the exact date stars first appearing.
Estimated at 200-400 billion stars.
