2:01 A bigger star, say, twice the weight of our star (...) goes out with a bang called a supernova - that is just a bunch of CRAP. A star has to be some 8 times heavier than our Sun to end its life as a supernova!
And, as gwerdance said before, Milky Way has 100 billion stars.
Two major mistakes in on short video - thumbs down.
What it doesn't go into is, what happens in the interior of the star. At 10 billion degrees fahrenheit, that hydrogen ball of gas begins to fuse together to create helium, giving it the glow all stars have. Of course, because of the high energy within the star, the hydrogen and helium fuse and so on, until, in small mass stars, iron is formed. This makes the core extremely dense, where gravity will work at it and work at it. At some point, the star explodes. That's how we got the elements.

The milky way has 100 billion stars, not 100 million.

@gwendance Pretty sure it's more than that, but we don't really know.
