Red Supergiant

A supergiant star in a late phase of its mayfly-short stellar life, this M class star has the largest volumes of all known stellar types. It has exhausted its core's supply of hydrogen, transitioning smoothly to the fusion of helium, and is likely to proceed onward through the elements up to iron before creating a supernova. Although extraordinary massive, the outer envelope of the star is extremely sparse and has a relatively low temperature, providing its characteristic hue. This star is casting off its constituent matter at a rapid rate and will form a spectacular nebula. Betelgeuse and Antares are examples of red supergiants known to classical pre-Domain astronomy. | ||
