Red giant star over a dying alien planet. Illustration of a red giant star heating a dying alien planet. This stage of a main sequence star's life, known as its red giant stage, begins when it exhausts the hydrogen fuel in its core. It will then begin burning hydrogen in a shell surrounding the core, and this will cause it to expand. The expanding star will engulf its inner planets. Surviving planets will freeze as the star collapses into a white dwarf star. | |
