Polaris is the closest of the three stars.
Antares (Alpha Scorpii) is a huge red hypergiant star, with a radius 800 times that of our own sun. There are some bigger stars though, such as Betelgeuse (1180 solar radii) and V354 Cephei (1520 solar radii), but the biggest known star is VY Canis Majoris, which is estimated to have a diameter between 1800 and 2100 times that of our own sun. If it were in the centre of our solar system its edges would almost reach the orbit of Saturn.
Betelgeuse (Orion) and Antares (Scorpio).
There is lots of information available about the star named Antares. It can be found in libraries, or online. Antares is one of the largest stars that man has ever discovered.
The stars with an A-type spectrum are the hottest common stars, but early-stage stars with a B-type spectrum are even hotter. The order of temperature is B-A-F-G-K-M for common stars. The M-type stars are the coolest common stars and they definitely look red, e.g. Antares, Betelgeuse. Remember the order by learning this: Be A Fine Girl, Kiss Me!
Antares is the most important star in the Scorpius Constellation.
