Another interesting thing is that all the stars you see in the sky at night are suns and their light faded millions of years ago. Remember that it takes millions of light years for the light to catch up so we can see it, so the star you see in the sky tonight no longer exists as you are looking into the past.
Another interesting thing is if any of those stars had an actual solar system attached to them, the planets probably no longer exist now and have been probably ground to dust or consumed by the star when it died.
