The red-giant branch variable star Gamma Crucis is the nearest M-class giant star at 88 light-years. [25] The K1.5 red-giant branch star Arcturus is 36 light-years away. [ 26 ]
This is the nearest red giant to the Earth, and the fourth brightest star in the night sky. Pollux (β Geminorum) 9.06 ± 0.03 [93] AD The nearest giant star to the Earth. Spica (α Virginis A) 7.47 ± 0.54 [99] One of the nearest supernova candidates and the sixteenth-brightest star in the night sky. Regulus (α Leonis A) 4.16 × 3.14 [100]
UY Scuti (BD-12°5055) is a red supergiant star, located 5,900 light-years away in the constellation Scutum.It is also a pulsating variable star, with a maximum brightness of magnitude 8.29 and a minimum of magnitude 10.56, which is too dim for naked-eye visibility.
The images show the surface of the star R. Doradus, a red giant star 180 light-years away in the Dorado constellation. The star has a diameter about 350 times that of the sun, and it serves as a ...
Mira was historically thought to be a red supergiant star, but is now widely accepted to be an asymptotic giant branch star. [32] Some red supergiants are larger and more luminous, with radii exceeding over a thousand times that of the Sun. These are hence also referred to as red hypergiants: Mu Cephei; VV Cephei A; NML Cygni; S Persei; UY Scuti

HD 18438 is a red giant star in the deep northern constellation of Cepheus, located about 730 light-years (220 parsecs) from Earth.With an apparent magnitude of 5.49, it is visible by the naked eye under dark skies as a red-hued dot of light about 10 degrees away from the celestial north pole.
The red giant π1 Gruis is 530 light-years away, and it's reaching the end of its natural life. Soon, scientists think it will become a planetary nebula. But before it dies, astronomers are using ...
