List of nearest supergiants

Topic: Astronomy

 From HandWiki - Reading time: 16 min

Short description: none

This is a list of the nearest supergiant stars to Earth, located at a distance of up to 1,100 light-years (340 parsecs). Some of the brightest stars in the night sky, such as Rigel and Antares, are in the list.

While supergiants are typically defined as stars with luminosity classes Ia, Iab or Ib, other definitions exist, such as those based on stellar evolution.[1] Therefore, stars with other luminosity classes can sometimes be considered supergiants.
