If the age of the Earth is 4.5 billion years, explain why we have no 60 M¤ stars in our region of the galaxy

any star of 60 solar masses would have exploded as a supernova long ago, since stars with that much mass only live a few million years.......
Im really stumped here.

-
What is the life of a star with 60 solar masses? A few million years at most. All those heavy stars burned out long ago.

-
The two things have nothing in common, they are not related.

You might be thinking that our sun is part of a cluster. If that were the case, any star of 60 solar masses would have exploded as a supernova long ago, since stars with that much mass only live a few million years.
