Quick question here that I've thought about in the past and always
assumed what the answer was but would like to hear some thoughts:

Do we know of any stars that exist outside of the influence of a galaxy?

No. As far as I know, no intergalactic stars have been observed.
If so, which direction are they moving? Are they stars that once
existed within the influence of a galaxy or are there nebula/gas clouds
that are stellar nursury?

Star formation occurs in relatively dense clouds. The density of
intergalacric matter is far too low to allow star formation

All the best Jurgen
