When stars inter into the red giant stage from the main-sequence stage, supergiant stars can form. The zone of hydrogen burning expands the star outward leaving an inert helium core. This outward movement causes hydrogen fusion in the outer shell of the star making the star thousands of times larger.

A supernova could produce a black hole, and that black hole could attract other stars and over time, it could have collected enough stars to form a galaxy. Our Milky Way Galaxy has a supermassive black hole at it's centre and that would have formed eons ago from a supernova explosion - albeit a very large one.

Which two groups of stars can have similar brightness?
Blue Supergiants and Supergiants
Lists stars in order of increasing size?
giants, supergiants, dwarfs
Do low mass main sequence stars become red super giants?
No. Only massive stars can become supergiants.
Is a yellow star a supergiant?
The color of a star is not an indicator of size. While yellow supergiants exist, most yellow stars, such as our sun, fall into the category of yellow dwarf.
Which of the following luminosity classes refers to stars on the main sequence?
The basic luminosity classes are: I for supergiants, III for giants, and V for main-sequence stars.
Which two groups of stars can have similar brightness?
Blue Supergiants and Supergiants
What are the universe's biggest stars?
Red supergiants
Are the largest stars known red super giants?
No, the largest star known is a Red Hypergiant (vy canis majoris) which are much larger than supergiants. Most of the largest stars are red hypergiants followed by red supergiants.
Stars much larger then are sun called?
Giants or supergiants
What type of stars are Betelgeuese and Antares?
Both are red supergiants.
How do supergiants stars die?
they go boom, and make a supernova
What is the Coolest largest and brightest than most main sequence stars?
Red giants, red supergiants and red hypergiants.
Which stars are giant stars?
Supergiants are the most massive stars, occupy the top region of Hertzsprung-russell diagram . Supergiants can have 10 to 70 solar masses and luminosity up to hundreds of thousands times the solar luminosity and because of their large masses they have lifespan of few million years and may be less than this value .
What stars are extremely luminous but not hot?
Red giants, red supergiants.
Lists stars in order of increasing size?
giants, supergiants, dwarfs
Can you unscramble staruepings?
The anagram is the word "supergiants" (refers to very large stars).
What are the different of the stars?
Stars are classified by their type and temperature. Amongst some of the types of stars in our galaxy are white dwarfs, blue giants, and red supergiants. Our own Sun is a yellow dwarf, and like most stars is a main-sequence star.
