The massive RSGC1 cluster contains 14 red supergiants and one yellow supergiant. [8]Yellow supergiants have a relatively narrow range of temperatures corresponding to their spectral types, from about 4,000 K to 7,000 K. [9] Their luminosities range from about 1,000 L ☉ upwards, with the most luminous stars exceeding 100,000 L ☉.
HD 271182, occasionally referred to as G266 and R92, is a rare yellow hypergiant (YHG) and an Alpha Cygni variable.It is one of the brightest stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), [10] positioned in the deep southern constellation of Dorado.
While it is frequently described as a yellow supergiant, especially in evolutionary terms, [2] it is classified as a bright giant based on spectrum.

Rho Cassiopeiae (/ ˌ r oʊ k æ s i ə ˈ p iː aɪ,-s i oʊ-,-iː /; ρ Cas, ρ Cassiopeiae) is a yellow hypergiant star in the constellation Cassiopeia.It is about 8,150 light-years (2,500 pc) from Earth, yet can still be seen by the naked eye as it is over 300,000 times brighter than the Sun.
Under ideal conditions, onlookers can count as many as 100 shooting stars per hour, but hourly rates will not be quite as high this year as a nearly full moon will shine bright on the night of Aug ...
Rigel, the brightest star in the constellation Orion is a typical blue-white supergiant; the three stars of Orion's Belt are all blue supergiants; Deneb is the brightest star in Cygnus, another blue supergiant; and Delta Cephei (itself the prototype) and Polaris are Cepheid variables and yellow supergiants. Antares and VV Cephei A are red ...
If you live in an urban area, you may want to drive to a place that isn’t full of bright city lights. ... The radiant point of the shower is a right angle between the Big Dipper and the bright ...
While it is frequently described as a yellow supergiant, especially in evolutionary terms, [16] it is classified as a bright giant based on spectrum.
