Answer 1

If by star death you mean a star exploding as a supernova the latest such event was observed about a week ago October 2 2007. A star exploded as type Ib or Ic supernova in a galaxy called NGC 7803. The galaxy is about 250 million light years from the Earth in the direction of constellation Pegasus.

Of course as it took 250 million years for the light of the explosion to reach us the star actually exploded about 250 million years ago. But it is the most recent observation of a explosive star death.

Answer 2

well we cant know. we can know that last one we have seen. but since all stars are lightyears away it takes years for us to be able to see it. but most likely a star dies every month or so, some we probably cannot see. since there are about 150 billion galaxies, most with over a hundred billion stars its pretty likely that a star dies every month or week or even day since if hubble was right there should be more stars in the universe than there have been days since the start of the universe.

Answer 3

I don't know that 'death' is the right word.... nova, supernova, expanding, contracting... all are just different ways a star can be.... only if it went cold and dark would I think it was 'dead' and of course we'd not be able to see it then....
