Evan if a star burned out you wouldn't be able to tell from earth only because how ever many light years away it is its how many years back in time your seeing it at, because it is so far away in space. FOR EXAMPLE if a star was 1200 light years away your looking at it from earth 1200 years ago because it takes the light a long time to travel from space to earth.
