How many stars does one create and how many times can stars be recycled into more stars?

Stars are formed from giant clouds of gas and dust, called nebulae. These clouds collapse under their own gravity, causing the material to heat up and form a dense core. As the core continues to collapse, the pressure and temperature increase, eventually reaching a point where nuclear fusion can begin and a star is born.
It is estimated that there are around 100 billion stars in our own galaxy, the Milky Way. However, the observable universe is estimated to contain over 100 billion galaxies, meaning there could be trillions of stars in total.
Yes, stars can die. Once a star exhausts its fuel, it will begin to cool and eventually collapse under its own gravity. Depending on the size of the star, it may become a white dwarf, neutron star, or black hole.
The lifespan of a star depends on its size. Smaller stars, like red dwarfs, can live for trillions of years. Larger stars, like blue giants, have much shorter lifespans of only a few million years.
Yes, stars can be created multiple times. When a star dies, it releases gas and dust back into space, which can then be used to form new stars. This process is ongoing in the universe, with stars being continuously created and destroyed.
