Spica, a binary star system consisting of a blue giant and a supergiant, is expected to spend around 20 to 30 million years on the main sequence. Its high mass and luminosity mean it evolves rapidly compared to lower-mass stars, which can spend billions of years in this phase. After its main sequence phase, Spica will quickly transition to the next stages of stellar evolution, likely becoming a red supergiant.
Spica is a dual star system, with the two members too close for resolution by the best telescopes. The larger, primary star is a blue-white giant, and does have the potential to end it's life as a supernova. The primary is not a main sequence star. The secondary, about 70% the size of the primary, is a main sequence star, also blue white.
Sun
Spica is a binary star system located in the constellation Virgo. The primary star, Spica A, is a blue giant with a diameter of about 7.5 times that of the Sun, while the secondary star, Spica B, is a main-sequence star.
Spica is a binary star system consisting of two massive stars. The primary star in the system is a blue subgiant star, while the secondary star is a slightly smaller blue main-sequence star. Both stars are hot and luminous.

The main sequence.
No, it will spend most of it's life as a main sequence star.
Spica is a binary star system consisting of two massive stars. The primary star in the system is a blue subgiant star, while the secondary star is a slightly smaller blue main-sequence star. Both stars are hot and luminous.
On the main sequence.
Spica is a binary star system whose primary star is classified as a blue-white giant of spectral type B1 III-IV. The secondary star is a blue-white main sequence star of spectral type B2 V.
Spica (Alpha Virginis) is the brightest star in the constellation Virgo.It is in fact a close binary star system so it is impossible to resolve individual stars through a telescope.It is approximately 7.4 times larger than our Sun. So it has a radius of about 5,150,400 km
not very long because its about to supernova,,,,,,,,, i think again
