| A low-to-medium mass star in a late phase of stellar evolution, a red giant has exhausted the supply of hydrogen in its core and switched to hydrogen fusion in a shell around the now-helium core instead. While the star itself is huge, the outer envelope has a lower temperature, giving the star its characteristic hue. | ||
