Taken by Malyn Varen, Azura's star was used for his experiments to find a method to prolong his life from a disease he was dying from.
Getting more desperate in his experiments and the transfer from the College of Winterhold to Illinalta's Deep the star was broken and damaged, being left in the Illinalta's Deluge when he was finally successful in soul trapping himself- lying near the remains of Varen that had turned into a skeleton.
"The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim"
Recovering the Broken Star from the Deluge, the Dragonborn returned the Star to Nelacar at the Frozen Hearth. Openly surprised that they had managed to retrieve it, Nelacar examines the Star expressing his concerns about the state the star was in, which had "fissures and cracks" throughout the artifact. He also discovers the artifact had managed to contain Varen's soul and concludes that the Star is sustaining his "life", but stopping it from it's primary function to being used in enchanting.
Nelacar fixes the star and tasks the Dragonborn to rid the artifact of Malyn's soul- fully repairing the star almost to the state it once was.
Alternate Reality:
Upon finding the Broken Azura's Star the Dragonborn returns it to the Shrine of Azura, where Aranea Ienith happily takes the star from them with the declaration that she knew "the Lady of Twilight had sent you for a reason." She tells them that she will commune with Azura and have her repair the Star to it's former state.
Placing it on the alter of the Shrine, Azura fixes the star, but says that she can't make it whole without the exorcism of Malyn's soul from within. Tasking him to go inside and defeat Varen to remove the enchantments that the mage had put up within that made it capable of capturing mortal souls.
