A star might begin to die after its main sequence. It'll balloon to a very big size. They're called red giants because the star is big and red. A red giant can die, though. Red giants die when their surface sheds into a cloud called a planetary nebula. Its core becomes a white dwarf. Our sun will go through this path.
