Pollux is an orange giant star located about 34 light years from earth. It would no doubt have been used to help form the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram, showing temperatures of stars vs. luminosity. Its temperature is around 4865 Kelvin and it has a luminosity of 32 times that of our own sun.
Pollux, a red giant star in the constellation Gemini, is in the late stages of its stellar evolution. After exhausting the hydrogen in its core, it has expanded and cooled, transitioning into the red giant phase. Currently, Pollux is fusing helium into heavier elements, and it is expected to eventually shed its outer layers and leave behind a white dwarf. This process reflects its position on the upper end of the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram, indicating its advanced evolutionary state.
eight million miles
The surface temperature of the Pollux star is 4,500 K
Pollux is about 34 light years from the Earth, or about 2 x 1014 miles.
Pollux is significantly more massive than the Sun and is therefore fairly young (massive stars don't live to be old). It's probably somewhere in the vicinity of three-quarters of a billion years old.
