Basically it looks (and is, somewhat) like a stretched out light bulb.

At the front you have the square flatened surface where the picture is displayed, behind it you have a stem, sort of like the stem of a light bulb.

At the end of the stem you have a filament like the one a bulb has and that send electrons towards the front.

Around that glass stem, still at the back, there are some coils which deflect the beam OS electrons to render the picture on the phosphor at the front. Those look like some noodles made of copper wire.

Do vacuum tubes in computers burn out like light bulbs?

Yes, vacuum tubes in computers burn out. Transistors are much better. Vacuum tube computers no longer exist except in museums. Vacuum tube computers were originally made in World War 2 to calculate the positioning of antiaircraft guns. It was not necessary to know where the airplane was but where it would be when the explosive arrived. That was especially true when the Germans developed the buzz bomb going 450 miles an hour. When hundreds of transistors could fit in the same area as one vacuum tube, the vacuum tube vanished.
