Red giant. Computer artwork of a view across an alien moon towards a red giant star with a dead planet passing in front of it. Star spots (black) are seen on the surface of the red giant. A red giant is a luminous giant star of low or intermediate mass in a late phase of stellar evolution. The outer atmosphere is inflated and tenuous, making the radius immense and the surface temperature low, from around 4 727 degrees Celsius and below.
