Love the analogy here (Guth; learn something new);

"Although the nebula that spawned the sun 4.6 billion years ago is
long gone, most of the thousand or so stars born in the same cluster
should have survived. But like a drop of red dye thrown into the
ocean, those stars emerged into an enormous object—a galaxy boasting
hundreds of billions of other stars."

The article indicates that there are varying opinions, but it is
nonetheless very interesting.
