In the opposite direction, growing ever larger, stood the red disk of a giant star.

As a giant star it has expanded to about 12 times the radius of the Sun.

Like most giant stars, it had a big family of planets.

I have just started a giant red star on its way to your home world, Earth.

"But how can this small ship ever stop a giant red star?"

But there was still no sign of the giant red star.

Would it be enough to grab the giant red star?

No one had ever lived after coming that close to a giant red star.

However, despite being a giant star, it is only 3.07 billion years old, which is younger than our Sun.

On the other hand, giant stars last 100 million years or so, which is much less time than Earth needed to evolve complex life.
