Spanish term

estrellas exánimes

Spanish to English Science Astronomy & Space
This is actually from a text by an Argentine artist:

Miro el cielo, particularmente las nebulosas, pero también miro el ojo que lo ve. Cuando cotejo ambas imágenes observo que nebulosa e iris se parecen mucho. Parece verificarse la desfigurada simetría entre aquí y allá. La nebulosa, esa materia cósmica difusa y luminosa de contorno impreciso, es polvo de estrellas exánimes. El rastro bellísimo de la muerte de una estrella

I understand it to mean stars that are no longer visible, but is there a precise term?

Thanks
