The Big Dipper went dark last week. It simply vanished into a field of increasing blackness. And navigators everywhere lost their way.
The news is reporting that there's an increase of suicides among scientists. There are protests going on right now in front of the NASA building in Washington, Jet Propulsion Laboratories, the Kennedy Space Center, and, strangely enough, the Large Hadron Collider. Perhaps they think it has something to do with the stars going out. Who knows. Who cares. At least it's not a Bad Moon Rising, that would ruin the song for all of us.
I think the one I'll miss the most is Cygnus. That's the one my mother always pointed out to me as a child. It went black just before the Big Dipper, though, so the news barely reported it. It's the Cygnus Ater now, the Black Swan.
People are getting worried about when our star is going to go out, plunging us into a neverending night. There are cults springing up everywhere. I saw a guy yesterday who had hastily modified his signboard so it read "The End is Hear." It made me smile, until I heard some people muttering about dark gods and human sacrifices.
The sky is very beautiful tonight, which is something of a paradox. I think I'll watch it from the roof. What's the opposite of stargazing? Darkgazing? Waiting for the light to catch up to us and then fade from existence until there's nothing left but darkness. I think I'll wait for the Black Swan to sweep across the sky, brushing each star with its feathers until it finally reaches us and we can fly across the heavens on its back, our own light lost in the terrible swiftness of its wings.
Sorry. Got a little poetic there. Maybe you'd like to go darkgazing with me some time? It sure beats all those apocalyptic bonfires.

Spin begins with the stars vanishing from the night sky — it isn't immediately apocalyptic, but this is still a harbinger of doom as the reason for this is quickly found to be that the Earth has been stuck in a semi-permeable bubble of slow time, meaning that the sun will die within a generation.

The premise of Sunless Skies is that the stars, which are the gods of the setting, are dying one by one, and the laws of reality are dying with them. By playing 'The Truth' ambition, you get some insight into this situation. Good news: This is perfectly natural, and places whose stars have died are in some cases still inhabitable, including the Reach and Albion. Bad news: This is perfectly natural because the stars are killing each other in a gigantic Space Cold War, and now that you know of said Cold War's existence you are on the Judgements' hit list. The only way out is to run to somewhere starlight cannot reach, or ally yourself with even worse powers and kill a sun. Oh, and humanity didn't kill Albion's Sun, are technically squatters on his corpse with no legal standing to the territory they've 'conquered', and can therefore be evicted by another Judgement.

This trope is central to the plot of "The Last Question": the titular last question is whether entropy can be reversed. It takes longer than the lifetime of the universe — that is, long after the stars have gone out — to come up with an answer. Yes, it can. The story ends with the now bodiless and omniscient computer proclaiming "LET THERE BE LIGHT".

In the last issue of Crisis on Infinite Earths, when the Anti-Monitor pulls the last Earth into the anti-matter universe, the entire sky goes black. And then the blackness starts to move and everyone suddenly realizes it's because the entire sky is made up of millions of the Anti-Monitor's shadow monsters. Needless to say, it gets worse before it gets better.

A driving force behind the Xeelee Sequence. The stars are aging far, far faster than they should, and in 5 million years — rather than 5 billion — almost all the stars in the visible universe will become white dwarfs.

In the Lord Darcy story "The Ipswich Phial", a priest describes having witnessed the stars overhead all going out in an instant, only to return a few minutes later. Subverted in that the stars actually still exist: the star-gazing priest has merely been rendered temporarily blind by a top-secret magical effect.

In Humanx Commonwealth, the Great Evil is a galaxy-sized Eldritch Abomination that is on a march toward the Milky Way. Scientists of various species throughout galactic history discovered it by examining the "Great Emptiness", a region of space that seemingly contains no stars, galaxies, or other active matter. So, in this case, they're going out because they're being eaten.

Remina: The first hint at the true nature of the titular Planet Eater Eldritch Abomination is the observation that its apparent orbit is very strange and any star that it comes close to just disappears before it starts heading towards Earth. The obvious insinuation is that Planet Remina eats stars as well as planets.

Inverted in a chapter of The Journal Entries. Because the ringworld Pendor was initially created in an otherwise empty pocket universe, the historical moment of its transition into "normal" space was the first time in their lives that those of its inhabitants who were born there and were experiencing night at the time saw the stars coming out.

In Freefall, Florence has an idea to disassemble stars, and notes that it could double as a way to detect advanced alien life — if there's a part of the galaxy where a bunch of stars are going out, it's a good sign that there's someone there trying a plan like hers. Winston, for his part, thinks he'd rather take it as a sign to stay away.

SCP Foundation:
The revised SCP-1548 has a barrier created around the Solar System that blocks out the light from the rest of the universe. When a probe breaches that barrier, it's discovered extra-dimensional invaders have extinguished nearly ever star in the universe. The barrier was keeping the invaders out except the probe left a hole.
SCP-2154 is a telescope that allows observation of celestial bodies in real time, without the delay imposed by the speed of light. 72% of stars visible through mundane telescopes cannot be seen through SCP-2154. It is revealed that there is something out in space blocking some of the stars from view, and it must be massive.

In the Care Bears (1980s) episode "The Night the Stars Went Out", the stars vanish one by one throughout as musician Maestro Strato Nefarious is stealing them so that he has enough light to read and play his music by. A boy down on Earth going to bed notices blackness slowly sweeping across the sky during the night... until the Care Bears help Strato Nefarious and he agrees to put all the stars back. Aww.

The Twilight Zone episode "I Am the Night--Color Me Black" (which, unfortunately, was not about Batman) had the sun failing to rise on the day of the execution of someone who was wrongly convicted. As you find out later in the episode... the sun didn't fail to rise. Everywhere else had sunlight. It was the hatred and bigotry of the townspeople against the falsely convicted man that kept the sunlight away from their town. How does it get worse, you ask? Well... not only do you find out that the sunlight never comes back to that town, but there's a radio broadcast announcing that other towns and cities have started experiencing the same condition of eternal night as well. And after the man was hanged, the town becomes darker...

In Nexus, the first time Horatio, the eponymous Nexus, fights another fusion-kaster, Sutta, the energy they draw causes five stars to go out. There's some Continuity Drift, because later, when Horatio fights other fusion-kasters who were canonically more powerful than Sutta, notably Stan, no such thing happens. Still, it was an important event in the story, because it panicked several major governments, notably that of the Cohesive Web, which sent Ursula to Ylum....

Some scenes in Final Days takes place 1x10^14 years in the future. By this point most stars have died or been gobbled up by black holes. One character notes that seeing the black sky can turn religious people into The Fundamentalist, or it makes them lose their faith. Atheists, on the other hand, tend to fall on their knees and pray.

Warlock (1967): Adam Warlock battled a being known as the Star-Thief who stole not just the stars but the light that had already left them (which is how Warlock knew there was an artificial cause.)
Years later (in a New Defenders story) a second Star-Thief snuffed out several suns; it turned out to be a little alien girl, blinded by an intense light, who now hated the stars, and didn't realize her latent godlike powers were turning her subconscious wishes real.
In the Ultimate Marvel Universe, this is, according to the Vision, what happens when Galactus comes to eat your planet. An incredible build-up, which fortunately (for the characters, not so much for the audience) doesn't amount to much. Justified in this case, because this version of Galactus is a giant swarm of city-sized robots, so blocks the light from the stars as it approaches a planet.

One adventure arc in the Dungeons & Dragons Spelljammer line ended with the stars of a huge invading empire's capital world raining down from the sky. Not as destructive as in other examples, as the "stars" are giant gemstones embedded in the surrounding crystal sphere, and aside from the unlucky folks who got hit by the meteorite shower, all the planet's downtrodden peasants find themselves suddenly rich.

This happens in The Transformers: Dark Cybertron due to Shockwave collapsing the universe into a single point in order to provide infinite energy for Cybertron. But the Autobots and Decepticons realize that what they're seeing isn't the stars actually going out, it's the light from the stars being blocked out due to the army one billion angry minicons descending on Cybertron.
Actually begins happening in the final arcs of The Transformers: More than Meets the Eye and The Transformers: Robots in Disguise for two separate reasons unique to each book's storyline.

Young Wizards:
The Star Snuffer is one of the names of the Lone Power. In the third book he blows up a star just because Kit and Nina happen to be in the vicinity, and later starts snuffing entire galaxies just to put pressure on Dairine during their confrontation.
At the climax of the first book, he turns off Earth's star, i.e., the Sun. Not only is this very bad for Earth in the mid to long term, but the heroes' spellbook can only be read by moonlight — which is reflected sunlight.

In Speaker for the Dead, Ender imagines a nightmare scenario whereby every time someone uses interstellar travel, it extinguishes a star. Because the stars are so far away, humanity wouldn't realise what it was doing until it was thousands of years too late and the stars start disappearing from the sky.

In the intro to Katamari Damacy, the stars don't so much "go out" as "get knocked out by a drunken King Of All Cosmos". You spend the game restoring them one by one. In the sequel, astronomers and astronauts still express anxiety over there being a nice and thick cluster of stars around Earth, while space is nearly empty everywhere else.

In Green Lantern: The Animated Series, the Anti-Monitor comes from a universe where there is only one star, orbited by only one planet. The entire universe is nothing, having been absorbed by him to feed his hunger. The only reason that world still exists is because it made a deal with the Anti-Monitor to be spared in exchange for sending him to the Green Lantern universe. After Aya is taken over by its remains, she starts doing the same.

A comparatively light version occurs at the Restaurant at the End of the Universe in the television version of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (1981).
How light it is depends on your point of view. The entire universe is coming to an end... for the entertainment of those who traveled in time to visit a restaurant with a view of it.

In Darker than Black, following a weird cataclysm, the stars were replaced by fake ones, with an Alien Sky over Earth. The real stars are still there, just obstructed from view; an unusual circumstance can grant a brief glimpse of the true sky... unless that's an illusion as well. The new stars in the fake sky are all linked to contractors, rising, brightening, fading and falling as the contractors are created, use their powers, and die. Also, the moon is gone. Towards the end of the second season, the moon seems to reappear, which, in a strange inversion, is considered the real sign that everything is about to go pear-shaped in an extremely headache-inducing way. Which is reasonable, since it's actually Shion's backup Earth created before he goes into Hell's Gate to meet Yin, and the only reason the world makes it through that is that Hei got there in time. Probably.

In The Night Land, set millions of years in the future, both the Sun and all the other stars have gone out. (Hence, all the world is a Night Land.) When it was written, the way that stars work was not generally known, and the author implies that they had simply exhausted all of their fuel. Later fan works retcon this and say that the real reason all the stars went out long before they should have is that the evil forces of the Universe — the powers behind the Silence, et cetera — ate them. The only reason that they haven't eaten Earth is that it's the last place with any life, and if they eat it, they won't have anything to do (or anyone to torment) until the Universe ends.

The entire premise of The Sun Vanished is that the Sun and the other stars in the sky have suddenly vanished, causing looting, rioting, and general societal distress that eventually escalates into people going insane and strange lights emerging.

In Pandorum, the characters wake up from suspended animation to find their sleeper ship has been drifting through space for an untold number of centuries. The villain takes the protagonists to the bridge and shows them that there are no more stars, reasoning that they have been asleep so long that the ship either drifted beyond the edge of the known universe or that all the stars have burned out. Then a fish swims past, showing they're actually underwater.

This event forms a crucial part of the background to (and provides the name for) the tabletop RPG Fading Suns. It does not mean the night sky is noticeably dimmer, though — it's the change in brightness of stars having inhabited systems (and subsequent climate change on these worlds) that is the problem.

Legends of the Dead Earth: In both Batman: Shadow of the Bat Annual #4 and Sovereign Seven Annual #2, the stars have long since gone out as the universe is rapidly approaching its end.
In the former, the embodiment of all evil, He-Who-Dares, is in the ruins of a castle on an asteroid in orbit of the last star in the entire universe. As Evil prevailed over Good, the universe is undergoing heat death, which will be followed by oblivion. Had Good won, the universe would have "evolved into a living, self-conscious being, capable of bootstrapping itself to a new, undreamed-of state of existence." He-Who-Dares manages to alter the course of history so that the people of Nu-Gotham defeat the Lizard-Men's assault on their city. This sets off a chain reaction which allows Good to emerge victorious and the universe to achieve sentience.
In the latter, the coffee house Crossroads is located on the last planet orbiting the last star, which goes out. However, the sun rises again the next morning. It is hailed as the first sunrise of the first day of a brand new beginning, indicating the birth of a new universe.

The Norwegian christmas classic The Journey to the Yule Star features an example of one star in particular going out, the titular Yule Star, which shines over the kingdom only once a year, on Christmas Eve. After his daughter and wife disappear in one night because the girl went out to find the star herself, the king curses the star, causing it to fade away. Though, according to Santa, the star remains where it has always been, but humans can't perceive it anymore.

In the Revenge of the Sith novelization, also by Matt Stover, Anakin remembers a mission where he and Obi-Wan visited a world orbiting a dead star, made of hyper-compacted metals just above absolute zero. Having grown up on a desert world where the twin suns burned him daily, Anakin is astonished to learn that stars can die. Having also heard legends as a child about dragons that live in suns, he begins to personify his fear as a cold dead-star dragon reminding him that "all things die. Even stars burn out..."

Warhammer 40,000 being what it is, the stars going out was actually when things were better. The C'tan were peaceful eldritch abominations happily eating stars without otherwise bothering anyone. The Necrontyr discovered that part of the reason their world had issues was due to a C'tan nibbling on their sun and making it unstable. When they managed to make contact, the C'tan discovered that while stars had plenty of energy to keep them going, living souls tasted much better. Things went rather downhill for the sentient species of the galaxy from there.

Doctor Who:
"Logopolis": The Master's interference causes a wave of entropy to cause a large portion of the universe to go out, right before the eyes of the TARDIS crew. Including Nyssa's home planet.
"Utopia": The TARDIS travels 100 trillion years into the future, when all the stars have long ago died of old age and a few planets are maintained in habitable condition by artificial "atmosphere shells".
"Turn Left": This is how Donna Noble knows it's time for her to go with Rose.note For added spookiness, this episode was broadcast (in the UK) the week that Arthur C. Clarke died.
At the end of "The Pandorica Opens", the stars are going out... because they're all exploding, along with the TARDIS. After this, the stars all become retgoned, so there's an actual explanation as to why the starlight immediately vanishes from Earth's skies.
At the beginning of "The Big Bang", the stars have all gone out... because they never existed, having all collapsed. Earth only has a sun because it's the TARDIS, exploding; this has resulted in an alternative history where stars as an entity are considered a myth.
"The Name of the Doctor": Stars are blinking out of existence because the Great Intelligence is rewriting the Doctor's history, undoing all the good he's done, and the Doctor has prevented this scenario a few times!

Secret Wars (2015) features an example similar to Doctor Who below: all universes have been destroyed and a single surviving world's only sun is actually Johnny Storm, the Human Torch. Some inhabitants of the Battleworld however, retain some memory of how the world was before and total absence of stars is one of the things that tip them off. Within Battleworld, though, the explanation is that Doom himself plucked them out of the sky to turn them into Mjolnirs for the Thors.

Stars dropping from the sky is one part of the mortal Narnia's end in The Last Battle, a Shout-Out to the Norse Ragnarök, as well as the earth sinking into the ocean. Since stars in this 'verse are actually glowing people, this makes the world's final hours a bit more brightly lit and crowded.

Part of the backstory in Andromeda. The ultimate Big Bad has been traveling through the universe collapsing all the stars in whole galaxies as part of a plan to destroy the universe. The galaxies the Commonwealth occupied are about all that's left. Almost nobody knew about it because the light from the time of the collapses hasn't reached known space yet.

Quarantine (1992): For unknown reasons, an impervious sphere instantaneously appears around the solar system, centered on the sun. On Earth people panic as the stars disappear in a circle of darkness that appears to swallow the night sky as the last of the starlight reaches Earth. Any and all (unmanned) probes sent to the edge of the solar system detect nothing until they reach the edge of the sphere and simply disappear. This happened several decades ago in the backstory of the setting. The cause remains a mystery, but when nothing else happened most people eventually just got on with their lives - because how important were the stars really? The most significant effect is perhaps the creation of a Apocalypse Cult/International Terrorist Organization with a mysterious agenda and a reverence for those born after the stars disappeared ("children of the void" or something like that).

She-Ra and the Princesses of Power: The stars have been gone from Etheria so long, only Madame Razz comments on it, and most people don't even have a concept of other planets. It's eventually revealed that the entire planet was moved into an otherwise empty dimension called Despondos by Mara, the She-Ra from a thousand years ago in order to prevent anyone from using the weapon build into the planet itself. This leads to a rare inversion; as the portal has its effect in season 3, one of the signs of trouble is the stars coming back. And after Light Hope moves Etheria out of Despondos with the unlocked power of the Heart of Etheria at the end of season 4, they stay back - when they're not obscured by Horde Prime's armada, anyway.

One of the first signs in Outer Wilds that the Sun Station is not the cause of the sun going supernova. If you pay attention throughout the course of a cycle, the stars are slowly exploding into dust one by one, until there's barely any left at all by the time the sun goes supernova. You may be clued into this by speaking to Chert, the astronomer, who progresses from concern, to terror, to numb despair, as they watch more and more of the sky go dark.

In Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty at the end of Zeratul's vision The dark voice, after consuming all life in the universe then extinguishes all the stars.
You'd think it would be more efficient to extinguish the stars first, instead of bothering with killing off all that pesky life, which would die anyway without the stars.

When the crew enters the universe, the collapse has sped up to be faster than the speed of light and somewhere in the quickly shrinking universe lurks an Ice Giant looking for a way out...

Star Wars Legends:
This happens in The Courtship of Princess Leia when the Big Bad activates his Nightcloak satellites. They come back on once the Falcon and company blow up enough of the satellites, though.
In Luke Skywalker and the Shadows of Mindor, part of Cronal's attempt to break Luke's will until he can steal his body is to trap him in dreams of the Dark, Cronal's idea of what the true power of the Force is.
In the Revenge of the Sith novelization, also by Matt Stover, Anakin remembers a mission where he and Obi-Wan visited a world orbiting a dead star, made of hyper-compacted metals just above absolute zero. Having grown up on a desert world where the twin suns burned him daily, Anakin is astonished to learn that stars can die. Having also heard legends as a child about dragons that live in suns, he begins to personify his fear as a cold dead-star dragon reminding him that "all things die. Even stars burn out..."

The main conflict of Battleborn is that a legion of cosmic horrors called the Varelsi have been going around the universe snuffing out the stars ahead of their natural lifespans. Thanks to the Varelsi, this lead to Solus becoming the last star in the entire universe. In the face of utter annihilation, a ragtag group of badasses decide to stop fighting amongst themselves and each others' factions, and instead band together to form the eponymous Badass Crew known as the Battleborn to stop the Varelsi and save Solus.

In Kingdom Hearts, Mickey's letter specifically states that, one by one, the stars are going out as worlds fall to darkness and vanish from the skies of other worlds, so he leaves Disney Castle to find out why.
The player is treated to some dialogue and a boss battle while Sora's world is ripped to pieces by the Heartless, and finally everything fades to black. The next time we see Sora, the scene starts with a star falling out of the sky. It gets the point across pretty well.

The Cabin in the Woods. Marty steps out for a leak and is surprised he can't see any stars, even though they should be miles from any light pollution source, a possible hint the eponymous cabin is an Eldritch Location.
